Tony,

You need to download the Microsoft Platform SDK.  See the December 31  
entry on this page( http://www.geometrictools.com/ 
KnownProblems.html ).  It gives instructions on how to work around  
the atlthunk.lib issue.  I have tried this and have been able to  
succesfully compile QuickFIX with Visual Studio Express.
