I figured it out - I simply needed to clear the cache and it then 
allowed me to select a 64-bit build.  However, I still get a similar error:-

     CMake Error at build_files/cmake/platform/platform_win32.cmake:174 
(message):
     Windows requires pre-compiled libs at:
     'F:/Blender/../lib/win64_vc14'

My libraries are installed in 'F:/Blender/lib/win64_vc14' (i.e. without 
the "/../").  Do I need to move them outside of my Blender folder?  Or 
have I still got some strange config problem?
