Have installed VS 2008 Professional. SCons finds it correctly when \--vc9 option is used. Problems detected so far in the project and solution files that get written \[and estimate of difficulty to fix\] include |

Eliminate it. \[easy\]Wiki Markup Solution file version should be 10.0, not 9.0 \[easy\]Wiki Markup Warnings when I try to build the project about incompatible compile options \[easy to medium\]Wiki Markup No user include paths \[medium or worse\]
There are certainly many more; I just haven't gotten there yet.
One piece of good news: the code in the vs_revamp branch has been merged into the trunk and is available in release 1.2.0.d20090223.

First attempts to bring up VS 2008 Express on project and solution files generated by SCons (with Tracy's additions) have been somewhat bizarre: VS claims it needs to convert them. It makes a new solution file and leaves the project file alone. However, if I exit and restart, it doesn't like the solution file it just made and claims the project file has syntax problems!
