No, it is not possible with ordinary compiler installation because 32 bit systems do not support 64 bit architecture. However, installing dedicated 64-bit tools would be an effective workaround to this restriction.
Check out this topic, it may be useful: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/netfx64bit/thread/f21450f5-b36d-4ea2-9806-f169aff0388d
On the other hand, it is possible to build 32 bit application on 64 bit systems.

I'm confused... are you saying it *is* or it *isn't* possible to build a 32-bit application on a 64-bit operating system? – Nathan Osman Oct 20 '11 at 16:52

It's not possible to build a 64 application on a 32 bit operating system. It is possible to do the opposite, build a 32 bit application on a 64 bit OS.

1-1 This is completely wrong - this is most definitely possible and I have [64-bit builds](http://quickmediasolutions.com/software/powerpad/download.php) of an application to prove it (built on a 32-bit operating system using the Windows SDK). – Nathan Osman Oct 20 '11 at 17:09
