Harsh,

I have had no problem building OGDI with VS2003, and I see no reason that
VS2005 or even VS2008 Express shouldn't work well.  One issue that isn't
addressed in the makefiles is doing anything about manifests.  You may find
it helpful to manually incorporate manifests into the DLLs using something
like:

mt -manifest abc.dll.manifest -outputresource:abc.dll;2

Best regards,
