That one you have a project for in the sources. Look up for .sln/.vcproj files. The required version is specified inside.
I looked inside and it says version 8.0. So I'll install the 2005 version and see if that is any better. Thanks for that suggestion.

error MSB3191: Unable to create directory "q:\" - does the drive q: exists on your PC?
Meh, no I do not have a q: drive. An C: and an E: I have.




Most of those errors are due to the later versions of Visual C++ being ANSI C++ compliant.

You cannot "convert" these errors -- you need to fix them, since the code you're compiling uses illegal C++ constructs.
Understood. I'll try with an earlier version off Visual C++ rather than fixing these errors myself and creating possibly more problems. Thanks
