Compling issues DX10 related?

Ugh I just read ealier that TGEA doesn't support DX10, but is it still possible to compile the engine atleast on a computer running Vista Home Premium and DX10, cause I have been trying to. I get 5 built, 1 failed which the 1 that failed seems to be the important one that actually makes the .exe anyhow here's some of the errors I get:

:\torque\tgea_1_0_3\engine\platformwin32\winwindow.cpp(29) : error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'const wchar_t [22]' to 'const UTF16 *'

this is alittle confusing to me, but seems like maybe I don't have something set up right b/c it seems as though it's trying to complie the code yet doesn't recongize the set up, i'm using mircro soft visual C++ 2005 express edition to complie and added the DX SDK and platform SDK to the include files spot, etc. also modifed the corewin_express.vsprops file to include user32.lib etc. and was using the vc7/TGEA SKD.sln project to build the TGEA. Anyway it seems possible to compile with Vista and DX10, but if this is my problem maybe someone could help me out and let me know so I don't keep trying in vain. And if this isn't my problem could someone plz point out my noobishness and tell me, "hey you aren't doing such and such right from what I can tell". Anyways thanks in advance and sorry for the long post.
