Visual Studio Express Editions support? was: [mapguide-internals] Motion Vote: RFC 104 - Support Visual Studio 2010

[Traian Stanev]

I got 64 bit everything to work fine in my VC Express 2008. In 2010, the changes required seem equivalent, but I have yet to remember all of them (something needed to be enabled in the registry last time I did it). This is to get things to work in the IDE, the compiler itself is freely available.

Also, someone mentioned FDO not building VC express -- this was because FDO uses solution nesting which is not supported in VC Express IDE, but can be worked around.

I think that someone (maybe Traian or Trevor) said they got 64bit support
working with the Windows SDK, but the MFC requirement is a sticking point
for sure.  We'd have to figure out what components use this and how to
design around it.  Not thinking short-term effort here :)  I agree that it's
not very condusive to community building to require a paid development tool.
