You would need to change the executable name as you stated above for starters. I also believe that in the repository there is a .sln file for VS.NET, so you'd need to point DEVENV.exe at this.

In reality, I remember having to change the project files anyway because Parrot doesn't have some of the ICU tools in the repository. Converting them to makefiles that are usable with both versions of Visual Studio, if possible, could well be the right thing to do. > I used to be able to build Parrot with VC7 almost everyday until the merger with the ICU code.
