Installing 64bit?

Biplab:
Download the following package. This is the latest one. It's an all-in-one package. Download it and then follow the steps "Propagator" wrote above.

Thanks for the link, alone by the filename it looks good already.
Only 2 more questions:

1) Since I don´t have any C::B on a new PC, which version of C::B do I install?
The 8.02 from the download page already has a note underneath saying it doesn´t work in Vista, so I would assume it doesn´t work in Windows7 either.
If I download a nightly without installing the 8.02 first, I have to do all the environment variables myself, so I would guess, easiest way would be
1) Install 8.02
2) Copy and replace the latest nightly into the folders from that installation
3) Unpack mingw64 and follow Propagator´s list

2) What about the 2 files I had to copy into the C::B folder?
wxmsw26u_gcc_cb.dll and mingwm10.dll
Not needed anymore, or new version available, or correct version already included in the above list?

Propagator:
Just follow the steps in point 3 of this post: http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,3232.0.html

You get the most recent versions of the files mentioned there from the links embedded in this post: http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,12098.0.html

Unpack all the files into the same folder. There's no need to use the 8.02 installer prior to these steps... Works perfectly for me with Windows 7 64bit.

Thanks to everyone, hopefully that will be easy enough even for me.

I'm new to C::B - so I thought it was just me, but I am having a problem with this very basic transition.  I have a codebase that will definitely break when compiled as 64bit so I need to port it.  First I installed the conventional Mingw32 and it compiles fine.  Then installed Mingw64, copied the c:b toolset, went in and changed the path and executables to the new Mingw64 install, but it still built, and my code was the exact size as the 32bit code - obviously something is amiss.

I then changed the build output to verbose (command line) and after a few builds that finally took, but what it clearly shows is that it is still using the original mingw32 toolset, even when I have the new mingw64 toolset selected.  I tried closing c::b and opening it back up, but it doesn't help.  Well soon ill turn off the computer for the day and see if a full restart helps, but I can't imagine that should work. 

Any suggestions?

I copied the old toolset rather than making a new toolset as I am worried there is some setting i might miss, but I guess I need to try that.
