just installed, and I'm going to put this on my regression tests machine too. C++ compiler version is 13.10.6030 and IDE version is 7.1.6030, in case anyone wants to know. B.

I do not know, but supposedly that would any (or all) of those: http://support.microsoft.com/search/default.aspx?catalog=LCID%3D1033&spid=3040&query=FIX+AND+C%2B%2B&adv=&mode=s&cat=False ... plus few others. See also http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/support/servicing/sp1_vs03/ B.

I do not know,
... and now I know, it's published at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918007 The list for "Microsoft Visual C++ .NET" is rather long and interesting. B.
The only fix I can see that solves a problem I have seen in the Visual C++ IDE: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/824580/ The IDE stops responding, something to do with the way the IDE 'knows' about classes i.e. member completion, tool tips over the code. I tend to use SCITE for editing code. I use the VC IDE only when I need to debug or find out what header something is in and to initially set up solutions. For the record I see no motivation for upgrading to VC8! I wouldn't like to try using boost in anything earlier than VC 2003.

The C++ .Net functionality in Visual Studio 2002 or 2003 for doing mixed-mode programming ( any C++ .net code which makes any call outside of the .net framework, which includes the C++ standard library and Boost among others, or uses unmanaged code in any way ) is totally broken. Just look up the loader-lock bug at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dv_vstechar.... That is cause enough for a C++ programmer who wishes to write .net compliant programs to upgrade to Visual Studio 2005 and VC8, where this problem has finally been fixed. Of course if a C++ programmer is not interested in doing C++ .net programming there may be little cause to upgrade to VC8, but I believe the compiler has been improved somewhat between VC7.1 and VC8 also.
