As far as I know you have to use VS2005 to compile for WF4. And you need VS2008 for Toolkit WF5.

From WF3 (and so with WF2) to WF4 there are additional/other libs to link in the compiler/linker settings.

The differences in libsfrom WF3 to 4 and to 5 are described in the section "Summary Of Technical Changes" in the API Browser documentation for Wildfire 4 and 5.

You can always check the Pro/TOOLKIT compiler compatibility by looking at the Platform Support section on ptc.com. They don't have the Pro/TOOLKIT Wildfire 5.0 document up there yet but here is the link to the 4.0 document.

Sergio,
No problem at all. I would follow the steps/concepts in the document but it is targeted for a 64 bit development environment. However; the section on starting Visual Studio to use the SDK is the important part. Please don’t hesitate to give me a call if you have any troubles. In fact, you can use this technique with the free IDEs (express versions) that Microsoft offers. For example, you could download Visual Studio Express 2005 and point it at the W2K3 Server R2 SDK and successfully compile your applications. It’s quite easy. This would avoid the cost of the upgrade. Remember, and IDE is just a “visual” way to organize your project. It is NOT a compiler and linker. The compiler/linker is actually a command line executable. PTC supports the COMPILER that ships with the various versions of Visual Studio, NOT the IDE itself. Good luck!
