I can't help with compiling Tcl - the recommended compiler for Tcl is still VC6, so VS 2005 might not be supported well (or not in the version that we ship with Python). You should ask on a Tcl mailing list for details. However, I'd like to take the opportunity to clarify terminology and naming: The product you are referring to is called "Microsoft Visual Studio", with versions being "Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003" and "Microsoft Visual Studio 2005". I.e. the .NET particle was only present with the 2003 release; the common abbreviation is "VS", not ".NET". Indeed "a newer version of .NET" would commonly refer to a version of the Microsoft .NET Framework (whose current version is 3.0).
