Hello Sashidar and Wojciech,

I recently moved my home machine to Vista, and Express 2005 is not  
available for download anymore (only 2008). So I ran into this as well.

I tried it that way, and it did not work. CMake would automatically  
select Visual Studio 8 (2005), but then when configuring, it would not  
be able to compile a test project because VS would say that it needs  
to be converted.

It turns out that you need to download a nightly build of CMake 2.5 to  
get VS 2008 support. See the bottom of this page:  
http://www.cmake.org/files/vCVS/ . That got me to compiling, which it  
is doing right now. I'll chime back in when it's done to report  
success/failure. I'll also try and add any relevant information to the  
Wiki, though it'll probably end up being on the VS2005 page (renamed  
to VS2005+2008 maybe) because other than this CMake snag, it seems  
very similar up until now.

That's always true, and I think it should be on the Wiki as well (in  
big red letters maybe?). We get people every so often who get crashes  
and mix compiler versions for libs and their program - which is asking  
for trouble on Windows.

Thanks,
