Hi!
Julian is absolutely correct. It is best to follow all the directions
for installing Visual Studio 2005 Express. This includes
updating/upgrading/installing both .NET Framework and the Platform
SDK to the most current available at MSDN!;)
You can keep your 2003 on the system, but I wouldn't mix and match.
Frankly, after installing Visual Studio 2005 Express, I didn't use my
2003 again for over a year, so I just reclaimed the disk space
(considerable). I've been using Visual Studio 2005 since beta days,
mostly for the compiler (optimizing). It always seemed strange to me
that I paid over $100 for Visual Studio NET 2003 7.1 and still did
not have an optimizing compiler!:-O after using it for about a year
(before Visual Studio 2005 Express beta), it now sits in its box!:-<
Another tip: I find it advisable to do a Build>Clean wxWidgets and
Build>Build wxWidgets and a Build>Clean Project and Build>Build
Project after changing (upgrading [downgrading?]) a compiler just to
make sure everything is using the same components. I do this for
Visual Studio as well as for MinGW. You never know when an obscure
change might bite you!;)
thx,
Dave S.
