Compiler error

Ok I have tried over and over and over to get Visual Studio to install. It was working before but now it gets errors during the install and after it completes ( using ignore when the errors pop up ) It says it cant find some dll's. ( SQL dll is one of em ) I'm at work right now so I don't have the exact errors and what not...

Here is my question though... I have one of those Learn C++ in 24 hrs books that comes with a CD that has a compiler on it. Can I use that to compile MQ2 ???

But the simple answer is no. You can't compile with anything else but the MSVS C++ tools unless you're good enough to rewrite the whole thing from scratch.

I've tried rewriting it to a freeware compiler like Dev-C++. Much ugliness, I wouldn't recommend it :)
