Although VS8 is not officially supported and no official binaries are released built with that version, you should find the CVS version of pywin32 builds cleanly with VS8, even if you target x64.

(I am puzzled that dsound.h appears in the SDK for ce, but not the regular SDK.) I am now stumped by these (related) compile errors. win32apimodule.cpp win32/src/win32apimodule.cpp(1266) : error C2664: 'GetFileAttributesW' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'Py_UNICODE *' to 'LPCWSTR' Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast win32/src/win32apimodule.cpp(1451) : error C2664: 'PyUnicodeUCS2_FromUnicode' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'wchar_t [260]' to 'const Py_UNICODE *' Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast win32/src/win32apimodule.cpp(1975) : error C2664: 'DWORD (LPCWSTR,LPWSTR,DWORD)' : cannot convert parameter 2 from 'Py_UNICODE *' to 'LPWSTR' Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast Are these new errors in Visual Studio 8?
