What error? Copying from Win32 should be fine.

One thing might be the output directory. Most templates just use 
$(ConfigurationName), but that makes both Win32 and x64 use the same 
directory. This can cause build issues. You might want to use something 
like $(ConfigurationName)-$(PlatformName) instead.
