Hello Laurence,

I got the client compiled with the 2005 Express version.

Was a bit of a fight first, as I had no idea of Visual Studio at all, but now 
all is well. I got the source zip running and a checkout from svn, too.

Compile is only working from within the UI, though, because whoever wrote 
develop.py didn't try with the Express version, so it chokes two times, first 
on a missing registry entry, that's just not
available for the Express version, and then on a not existing EXE file, that is 
not part of Express either.

Just use the UI and all is well (or go fix the develop.py and submit a patch 
:D).

I'll check the wiki pages at some time and update them. But best would be to 
rewrite the "how to compile SL client" stuff from scratch, it's far too many 
different pages and very confusing.

Maybe 1 page for each OS, only.

Tillie
