For Visual Studio .NET:

1) Unzip latest .zip file, making sure to use existing folder names to preserve directory structure.

2) Double click on the .sln file to open the Visual Studio .NET solution.

3) On the menu, click Build --> Configuration Manager. You get a dialog box. Make sure it is set to Release, and then make sure the check boxes are marked for EQLib and MacroQuest. Then click Close.

4) Build --> Clean Solution

5) Build --> Build Solution Make sure you see the message in the compiler window that says "Build: 3 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 skipped", or 2 succeeded if you didn't build mqext.

6) Copy eqlib.dll, macroquest.exe, eqgame.ini, and locations.txt to your MacroQuest working directory. In other words, don't run MQ out of the Release directory. That avoids having to redo your MacroQuest.ini file every time you download a new source, which fixes an amazing amount of problems believe it or not :)

7) Double click macroquest.exe. Move mouse over icon in system tray, make sure it doesn't vanish. Then go into EQ and check.

If this doesn't work, tell me exactly which step failed.

Addendum to #6: Copy MacroQuest.ini to your MacroQuest working directory if you don't already have a copy in the folder.

chosing the correct project file fixed most of it for me (not converting to 7.0).

but now any var seems to be incorrect.

rest of it works.

now to try to figure out what all those obj files are in release
and why

/varset v80 0

comes up with an error

if anything i am learning somthing

What macro are you using to test? Does it have a /declare v80 in it? It sounds like you may be using an old (pre-@param) macro.
