Are you using the Express version of Visual Studio? If so, you will need 
to download the Platform SDK from Microsoft.

Not for some time. If you turn back the clock in the CVS repository 
(8/1/05 should do), you'll find some project files for Visual C++ 7.1. 
I'm really not sure how useful they'd be as a starting point; you may be 
better off just creating new ones based on what you see in the 8.0 
project files.
