Beta 2 has alot of incompatibilities, I wouldn't recommend it for development means.

Beta 1 can be used, but it requires you to manually set the Platform SDK (which must be downloaded seperately).

Tesio can you elaborate? What does "manually setting the platform SDK" involve and how do I do that? I take it I can get the program itself from Microsoft.com.

EDIT:

And yes I am talking about that.

It involves downloading the SDK, which contains Windows headers & libs, independently from VC++, installing it, and manually adding its "include" and "lib" folders to the search path of VC++.

Not just manually adding the includes/lib directories.. god if it were only that straight-forward.

You have to also manually add each of the libraries in the reference.

You'll need at the very least,

Kernel32.lib User32.lib CRTmdt.lib, and a few more I forget.
Your best bet is to find someone who has Visual Studio 2003 installed, and ask them to look at the reference libraries for your. So you know which base-system libraries you need to add.

Once that's all done though, it is fairly easy to get it all working.

Yes, sorry, forgot about that. You have to manually add all the .lib files in the linker options. When I compile something on VC++ 2005, I do the following: I compile the project and then, when it gives me a linker error, search for that function @ MSDN. There I can see to which .lib file that function belongs. I add it to the library dependencies, and recompile You usually have to do it 4 or 5 times only.
