Hi Kevin,
Steve is right, using an earlier version is best for now, like many other
scripting languages, you have to use the most stable and proven. For the MSVcrt
stuff keeps changing because Microsoft wants to force you to use there latest,
in other words, pay more money.
I found the 2010 version is OK to use, but like Steve said, I ended up
using the command line of C++ to write all my course homework and my instructor
was using a Mack and the only thing that was a problem was saving the text
version of the uncompiled in ANSI, text format for his computer did not like
Unicode format...which studio did not care, converted it automatically.
But 2008 is the most stable for using the C++ controls and 2010 is also OK
to a certain point, just make sure you have all versions of the MSVCRT versions
to be able to use standard controls in the version you are using; most cross
over compiled formats use the earlier versions...
Do you know how to get the command line up and running? There is a little
trick in that, moving one file to the location of usage or compiling of your
programs.

Kevin,
In terms of accessibility, I've found VS 2008 to be the best since it was the
last version to use standard Win32 controls. The newer versions are usable for
the most part, but certain elements like the form designer are cumbersome.
Depending on your end goal, you might also consider invoking the compiler
system through the command line. The native compilers and MSBUILD systems are
all available in the console, though admittedly it can be tricky to get them to
work as seemlessly as you would find in the VS IDE.
If you're looking for alternative compilers, GCC works from the console, and
IDEs like Code Blocks work reasonably well. We have not tested other compilers
to see if they work with COM, so you're likely on your own if this is what
you're after.
HTH,
Steve
