+How to set up Visual C++ 2017 for IDA Plugins
+---------------------------------------------
+
+This guide will help you set up a Visual C++ project that targets both ida32 and ida64 plugins.
+Remember that, even though ida32 is used to work on 32-bit files, it is also an x64 application.
+Therefore, both plugins (ida32 and ida64) must be built for the x64 platform.
+
+1. File | New | Project From Existing Code...
+
+2. What type of project would you like to create: Visual C++
+   <next>
+
+3. Project file location: <folder where you have your files>
+   Project name: <your plugin's name>
+   <finish>
+
+Once the project is initialized, right-click on the project name and pick Properties.
+
+4. Configuration Manager...
+     Active solution platform: select "x64"
+   <Close>
+
+5. General | Project Defaults | Configuration Type
+     Dynamic Library (.dll)
+   <apply>
+
+6. C/C++ | General | Additional Include Directories
+     Enter the SDK's include folder in "Include search paths (/I)": eg. C:\idasdk\include;
+   <apply>
+
+7. C/C++ | Code Generation | Runtime library (visible only after you add one .cpp file to the project)
+     Multi-threaded DLL (/MD)
+   <apply>
+
+8. Linker | Command Line | Additional options
+     - for processor modules: /EXPORT:LPH
+     - for plugins: /EXPORT:PLUGIN
+     - for loaders: /EXPORT:LDSC
+   <apply>
+
+The steps above constituted the common configuration for both ida32 and ida64 configurations.
+
+We will now create the separate configurations.
+
+9. Still under "Configuration Manager..."
+
+     - under the "Configuration" column, click on "Debug"
+     - click "<Edit...>"
+     - click "Rename"
+     - add an "ida32" prefix to the configuration name, such as "ida32 Debug"
+     - <Enter>
+     - <Yes>
+     - <Close>
+
+     - under "Active solution configuration", click on "Debug"
+     - click "<Edit...>"
+     - click "Rename"
+     - add an "ida32" prefix to the configuration name, such as "ida32 Debug"
+     - <Enter>
+     - <Yes>
+     - <Close>
+
+     - under "Active solution configuration", click on the new configuration name "ida32 Debug"
+     - click "<New...>"
+     - use a similar name, but with the "ida64" prefix, such as "ida64 Debug"
+     - Copy settings from: "ida32 Debug"
+     - <Ok>
+     - <Close>
+
+In the "Property Page", under "Configuration", select "ida32 Debug".
+
+10. Debugging | Command
+      - for ida32: C:\Program Files\IDA 7.2\ida.exe
+      - for ida64: C:\Program Files\IDA 7.2\ida64.exe
+    <apply>
+
+11. C/C++ | Preprocessor | Preprocessor Definitions
+      - for ida32: __NT__;
+      - for ida64: __NT__;__EA64__;
+    <apply>
+
+12. Linker | General | Output File:
+      - for ida32: $(OutDir)\$(ProjectName).dll
+      - for ida64: $(OutDir)\$(ProjectName)64.dll
+    <apply>
+
+13. Linker | Input | Additional Dependencies
+      - for ida32: C:\idasdk\lib\x64_win_vc_32\ida.lib
+      - for ida64: C:\idasdk\lib\x64_win_vc_64\ida.lib
+    <apply>
+
+In the "Property Page", under "Configuration", select "ida64 Debug" and repeat the last three steps.
+
+
+You should now be capable to easily switch between the "ida32 Debug" and "ida64 Debug" configurations and build your project.
