Re: mkoctave MSVC 2008 Express (Need Help)

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA]

Hello

As a web maintainer, my attitude of the issue in ht previous mails was not good.
I would like to express my apology to related peoples.

However, my ability is limited so that it is difficult to solve the issue only 
by myself.

I really need a help by power users.
For the moment, plese use vc expess 2005 and platform SDK.
However, they are obsolate to the MS.
So it is not easy to find them.

VC
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=200b2fd9-ae1a-4a14-984d-389c36f85647&DisplayLang=en
 
Platform SDK
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=A55B6B43-E24F-4EA3-A93E-40C0EC4F68E5&displaylang=en

I will revise my web.

The web install file names are
Vc
 vcsetup.exe  (all versions have the same name, please care)

Platform SDK
 PSDK-amd64.exe 
 PSDK-ia64.exe  
 PSDK-x86.exe   
Please select one of the above files according to kind of CPU of your 
computputer. 

I am now re-installing the VC++ 2005 but there have been some troubles at the 
moment.
After I have finished, I will report here.

Regards

Tatsuro
