Hi Brian,

Thanks for trying out SeeMS. :) There have been a lot of changes since 
the last official release (and even more changes since my last commit of 
the SeeMS code itself...heh). Anyway, try downloading latest_windows.zip 
instead of latest_windows.tgz for a recent binary.

If you want to work/build SeeMS I highly recommend upgrading to VC9 
(even if it's just the Visual C# Express Edition). It's hard for me to 
justify spending time making solution and project files that are 
compatible with multiple versions of Visual Studio when the latest 
version is available for free (and it's easy to do a side-by-side 
install). Every time I added a file to the project I'd have to do it for 
all versions and beyond that I've probably started using .NET 3.0 or 3.5 
features without realizing so it might not even compile with VC# 8.0 
anymore.

The SeeMS sln/project is somewhat disconnected from the rest of the 
source code because of the language change barrier. I try to have the 
latest stable pwiz bindings committed in binary form in the SeeMS 
directory. That location is the assembly used when compiling the 
project. So you can just check out the SeeMS project and not worry about 
compiling the rest of pwiz.
