-Windows XP, Vista and 7 are the main supported versions; 2000 should work too but is rarely tested. Visual C++ 2005 and 2008 are supported; older versions aren't, newer versions may work but haven't been tested, MinGW certainly won't work. Only 32-bit builds are supported (though they can be compiled and run on 64-bit Windows).

 The game must be compiled with Microsoft Visual C++. If you already have Visual C++ 2005 or 2008 installed, make sure you have SP1 and then continue. Otherwise, you can get the free Express edition:
 
- * Download and install [http://www.microsoft.com/express/ Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition]. (You can skip the optional Silverlight and SQL Server components.)
+ * Download and install [http://www.microsoft.com/express/Downloads/#2010-Visual-CPP Visual C++ 2010 Express Edition].
 
 (If you have the old VC++ 2005 Express, you need to install the separate [http://www.microsoft.com/express/2005/platformsdk/default.aspx Platform SDK] (steps 1-3).)

 Now you should be able to build the code from within Visual Studio, using "Build Solution" (F7).
