I found another repository that includes an MSVC project file. That's the 
ZIP-file I sent you.
(Unfortunately I cannot find the link to it any longer.)

I see again that my programming capabilities are very limited. Why does the compiler make a 
difference of the result? I mean the program is written in C and I expect every C compiler to 
produce the same output. I once compiled LyX using MSVC and parallel also MinGW (via cygwin) and the 
result was the same - a fully functional LyX.

But anyway, does the ZIP-file I sent you help you to update the gettext version in the installer to 
0.17?
