Hi Brian,<br> I actually have been developing Olympus using Visual Studio 2008 (and testing with Visual Studio 2005) and can even compile the 2.2 branch with Visual Studio 2008 as well after changing the build script; however, Olympus will currently not compile with other Windows compilers primarily due to use of Microsoft's "secure" CRT functions. If you are interested in getting Olympus up and running, I recommend starting out with the 2.5 branch which is currently in more or less a release candidate stage, whose build script guides you through installing the necessary dependencies, supports Visual Studio 2005 SP1 and Visual Studio 2008 SP1 (Professional Edition and let me know if it doesn't work with the free Visual C++ 2008 Express edition at <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/express/download/">http://www.microsoft.com/express/download/</a> ), NetBeans 6.8, and the Windows Sever 2008 SDK instead of requiring Speech SDK. It is also compatible with all of the example and tutorial systems when using the branches/2.5 version of them. It can be checkout-ed from <a href="http://trac.speech.cs.cmu.edu/repos/olympus/branches/2.5/">http://trac.speech.cs.cmu.edu/repos/olympus/branches/2.5/</a> and you should do an SVN update before you start work each day until the release. While things seem to be significantly better than 2.2 release quality to me, I am feverishly working on a full very stable 2.5 release, so, if you encounter any crashes, freezes, hangs, or unexpected odd behavior, e-mail the list and I will file a ticket and commit a fix shortly if necessary. Also, feel free to e-mail the list if you have any questions about Olympus that is not addressed by our still work in progress documentation.<br>

I am attempting an install of Olympus.under Windows XP I have a couple of questions:<br>

<br>
Hi, I take it there aren't any alternatives to this just to get it up and running?<br>

1.)"The C++ components *only* compile with *Visual Studio .NET 2005 <<a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/" target="_blank">http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/</a>>* with *Visual Studio .NET Service Pack <<a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928957" target="_blank">http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928957</a>>*"<br>
