Compiling WSDLPULL with Microsoft VisulaStudio 2010 express - visual-studio-2010

I am trying to compile wsdlpull (http://wsdlpull.sourceforge.net/#install) to create the dll and the tools but I cant seem to open the dsw file in to the work space with out errors as the instructions suggests. Could some who has tried this before give me a few hints as to what this might be caused by.
If not can someone suggest a good SOAP library with LGPL license.

Look in the wsdlpull-1.24\win32\vs2008 directory for the Visual Studio 2008 project version and convert that.

Failed to obtain a compiler version

I use Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Community Update 3 to program various software and wanted to check PVS-Studio 6.14.21489 with the free license.
But I can't get it to work from Visual Studio, all it's able to outpout is:
Failed to preprocess file "[file path].cpp": Failed to obtain a compiler version.
V008: Unable to start the analysis on this file. [file path].cpp. Failed to obtain a compiler version.
Tested with win32 and x64 on both debug and release and I get this message on all files, nothing else. Solutions are compiling sucessfuly.
I tried reinstalling the product, same effect.
Note: I use Windows 8.1 Standard edition x64, all products including Visual Studio are installed in their default folder in C:\Program Files (x86)
Any clue would be very appreciated
Many thanks
Thank you for a detailed explanation of the issue. It was caused by a defect in our code. We have fixed it and published a beta version of PVS-Studio with a fix. You may download it using this link. Please try it in your environment and let us know the results.

Compiling the opus-codec API library

First, going to be honest. I'm a c#/java-language-level dweller. So I have no idea about how to compile native-C projects such as opus.
I've tried doing it myself, and I've tried googling it. I simply need help compiling the opus-codec API (on Windows).
Once I have the library compiled, I'll build a wrapper for it's API.
While my searches have indeed found opus wrappers targeting my current project's language (c#), I can't find an up-to-date one. I don't know if it matters, but I need it for it's VoIP capabilities.
Sorry for my stupidity in the matter.
[UPDATE]
After compiling with Visual Studio 2010: Ultimate, I have a .lib library file. I need a .dll. I don't know what I'm doing. Help?
In a C project there is going to be some way to drive a build of all the object files, libraries, etc. Basically the same thing as maven build in Java, just with different tools. You will have to have the right tools if you don't.
On unix systems it's usually Makefile driven, running command line programs that compile and link the program or library that is being built. In GUI environments like XCode or Visual Studio, there are ways to run the build directly from the UI.
Looking at the source tree, there's a directory with a number of Visual Studio 2010 projects in it - https://git.xiph.org/?p=opus.git;a=tree;f=win32/VS2010
If you're using Visual Studio, loading that up and trying a build to see if it still works is where I'd start. Or perhaps have a look at Any way to do Visual Studio "project only" build from command line? or other questions that reference msbuild.

Building cvhaartraining.lib

I am trying to do some OpenCV work on Visual Studio 2010 and I am trying to compile the 'createsamples' project. I am getting linker errors when trying to do so and after much research online I've noticed that I am missing the cvhaartraining library. What do I need to do to compile this library for use in my projects. I have VS 2005, 2008, and 2010 at my disposal and I can switch to either one as long as I can get a build. I am working with OpenCV 2.2
Thanks.
Tried this? http://asadujjaman.wordpress.com/2010/02/15/building-opencv-with-microsoft-visual-studio/

Importing WinSCP source files into Microsoft Visual Studio 2008?

I am pretty new to programming. I would like to download an open source project and build it in my Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. In fact, I tried to import and build the application WinSCP:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/winscp/
But I didn’t work. Please can somebody help me and tell me which files do I have to download (from sourceforge) and how to import these into Microsoft Visual Studio in order to build the application. Thank you a lot. David
WinSCP seems to be written in Borland C++ Builder or whatever it's called today. It's not a standard C++ program and wouldn't compile in any other compiler because it uses special features only present in BCB. (It uses Delphi-style components, VCL and thus the __property keyword.)
Unfortunately, a lot of Open Source projects have very poor support for Microsoft's development tools. One project that comes to mind as being not too big and having workable MSVC project files is FreeType2, but that's a library and not an application, which probably makes it not very interesting for toying around with.
In support forum of winscp, they say, that you can't compile this project in Visual Studio.
Winscp appears to be a CPP project using a makefile instead of a sln file. VS uses SLN and *proj files to control builds and such. A good way to start would be to open VS, create a new console project (and solution) and go through some tutorials online.
If you really want to just see how a large project works in VS, grab something like IronRuby or IronPython or even something like the Witty twitter client.
In the general case, it is not possible to pour the C++ sources of a program into Visual Studio and expect it to work. C++ programming environments are far too different between operating systems for that. If you have a open-source program which builds and runs fine on Linux (for example), it may need several weeks (or months) or programming effort to make it run on Windows.

Where to download older versions of Visual C++ Express?

Is there a way to download older versions of Visual C++ Express? I'm particularly interested in Visual C++ 2005 Express (PRIOR SP1) and Visual C++ Toolkit 2003. I tried googling for them, but all the sites linked to microsoft.com, from where microsoft (for some reason) has taken them down.
If you want to link your application against the RTM (pre-SP1) version of the CRT (C runtime), you can apparently do that by defining _USE_RTM_VERSION in your project or on the compiler command line.
Also, deploying the CRT as a private assembly should still work with the SP1 version of the CRT. If that is what you have tried to do, posting more information about what went wrong might help you find a solution.
I also put this in a comment above, but just to make sure you don't miss it: if you're trying to do this because you're having problems with deployment and different versions of dll's, have a look at App does not run with VS 2008 SP1 DLLs, previous version works with RTM versions.
For those of us who find this answer looking for something after 2010 the following link worked as of this posting:
Older Visual Studio Downloads
Microsoft owns it. If they don't have a link anymore, I think you're out of luck.
I'll bet their web crawlers automatically page their lawyers if they ever find a copy on the web.
There is no good reason to run 2005 before SP1, you do realize 2005 /w SP1 compiled code will run the same for the end user, they don't need to install a .NET SP to run the code.
The SP fixes bugs, security holes and various improvements, virtually no functionality changes, you only loose by not using /w the latest SP.
From my personal experience the software compiled with SP1 doesn't simply work, if the end user hasn't installed the redistributables. Without SP1 however it is possible to get the .exe working if you distribute it with the required .dlls.
