Won't compile in Visual C++ 2008. Only version available now.

#1 You should be able to build with VS 2008. I've built TGE projects with VS Pro 2008. What kind of errors are you getting?

#2 I'm using the free Visual C++ 2008 express. And this is what I get:
Whoops

#3 I see mostly syntax errors.

I don't really need to compile it though, since the patches give me the latest version, and I got the World Domination Mod working without any problems. I can do everything I need in Torque script.

#4 Wolf, are you sure you did all the steps mentioned on the TDN article? Im using VC++ Express 2008, with some minor errors, but I can compile it.

#5 You can download 2005 just fine. Go to the express site and click the "Previous version" link on the right side of the main menu. Then download the version you need. I just checked and it works.

#6 Http://www.microsoft.com/express/2005/
Now I see it. Cool.

I'm hoping I'll be able to do everything without ever having to use C++ though.

Novack, are you using Vista? Did you load the 2005 code into 2008, and have it convert over without syntax errors and whatnot?

#7 Im not using Vista, but yes, I loaded the 2005 .sln file into VC++ 2008, and had it converted over without errors.
