How to run and use SWF To Image on x64 Windows

The SWF To Image ActiveX library is made using managed Windows 32-bit code so as a result library (dll) can not be loaded into 64-bit application.
Solution is to build application for x86 platform so application will be operate in 32-bit mode (will work on both 32 and 64-bit OS)

To apply this in Visual Studio 2005 and higher:

- open project in Visual Studio 2005
- open project settings by pressing ALT+F7 (or via main menu: Project | Windows Application 1 Properties)
- select "Build" tab
- change "Platform Target" to "x86" option
- re-build project

Produced EXE application will work OK with registration-free scenario on Windows x64. To see how to add registration-free support into application see below:
