Where to download C++ .NET 2003 (7.1)
by Greg H · in Technical Issues · 12/31/2006 (1:40 am) · 6 replies
I would rather work with the version in the instructions but can only find .NET 2005 to download, which requires SP2 to download also.
Everytime I upgrade in Windows in the past a whole new bunch of problems crops up.
So where does one find .NET 2003?

I'm assuming you are talking about SP2 of Windows XP. If you are, then it is actually a very large improvement over SP1 and you really should get it. If you can't get it because you have a cracked version of WinXP, then it might be about time to fork out some $$ for your OS. I'm not trying to imply that you've done this, just commenting in case. ;)

I suspect there are a lot of other applications not listed, and after I upgrade I will spend days fixing other issues.
How about their upgrade to IE, which makes it so you have to click on a flash document in order to activate its content first, causing developers to have to use workarounds to circumvent.
The documentation for TGE I just bought, has instructions for 2003 .NET. And from reading these forums I see many posts with problems and workarounds using 2005 version of C++ .NET, which is also supposed to be slower, if using the Express version.
And by the way, I have the legal version.
Is there one post that is considered the best way to compile TGE with 2005 .NET? I see several.

I read about some of the problem applications on their upgrade page for SP2, one of them being Photoshop!!I suspect there are a lot of other applications not listed, and after I upgrade I will spend days fixing other issues.

EDIT:
Also, without SP2 and the updates since, using IE already has you open to several exploits. Major exploits.

I saw several problem emerge the first few weeks of SP2's release, but have not had any problems since. And I monitor several student and teaching labs with a wide variety of software at our university. We held off a semester to make sure that the bugs got ironed out. And they have. I never had a problem with Photoshop or Premiere. I did, however, have Word issues, which I found kind of funny. But an update fixed them in a week.Quote:How about their upgrade to IE, which makes it so you have to click on a flash document in order to activate its content first, causing developers to have to use workarounds to circumvent.I actually prefer this method since it works on an opt-in system rather than interruption marketing that I would rather ignore. Of course, it also makes developers want to break my browser to interrupt me and piss me off.

SP2 has been out over a year, any problems it had with other software have long been made history.
If you don't have access to VS 2003 .NET, you have to buy it, and at this point if you are buying a development environment, I'd recommend VS 2005 because of a lot of the improvements it brings. I know VS 2005 Express works with TGE, might just need platform SDK installed.
Btw, most of the workarounds for VS2005 were for TGE below version 1.4.2 (I think) since it only supported up to VS 2003 .NET

Can anyone point me to the most accurate up to date info on building with VS2005 express? Again, I see several threads, but nothing seems definitive.
Here is the current instructions which just have 2003

I just bought Torque game engine and instructions come with VS2003 build, and don't mention 2005. Can anyone point me to the most accurate up to date info on building with VS2005 express? Again, I see several threads, but nothing seems definitive.

So you can either upgrade to SP2 and get a free version of 2005 Express, or shell out for 2003.
