I didn't use the Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 but the full Visual Studio .NET 2003, so couldn't help there. But I'm using the new Visual C++ 2005 Express edition to build Parrot. Seems like the old Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 is discontinued. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/visualc/aa336490.aspx -snip- The Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 has been replaced by Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition. Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition [1] provides a complete integrated development and debugging environment making it the easiest way to create powerful applications using the C/C++ language. Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition also contains an enhanced version of the C/C++ optimizing compiler for the fastest executables. Best of all, the Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition is completely free!
