Thanx again for the info. Helps a lot. Kinda confused as to what this step means.

c) Download Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows Desktop

Download Visual Studio Express 2013 For Windows Desktop (note: there is a "Visual Studio Express 2013 For Windows Desktop" do not use it as it won't work) and put it in the C:\EQ\Installs directory. Download the installer by clicking on 'Install Now'. Note this one is only a simple web installer package. It will download more when you run it.
You can also use full versions of Visual Studio (Professional, Premium, Ultimate), and Visual Studio 2012 Express also.


First it says to download Visual Studio Express 2013 For Windows Desktop. Then it immediately says "note: there is a "Visual Studio Express 2013 For Windows Desktop" do not use it as it won't work"...

So what gives? Typo?

fixed the typo. You should use "Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows Desktop". If you have the 2012 or even the 2010 version, they should work too.

Gotcha. I tried downloading and installing that one. But, it apparently only works with windows 7 & 8. The only version for 2012 I see is "Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Phone". There are seven different options for 2010. I have no idea what any of them mean. Any idea which of these I should use for Windows Vista?

Thanx.

I know VS 2010 (the lowest supported VS version for us) is the last one that works for XP, not sure for Vista, 2012 might work? Either way, you will want the desktop version not the phone .. I assume ..

I've been looking. I can't seem to find a desktop version for either one. Just 2013.
