Visual Studio 2008 Express (see my last message) might be a better choice with recent Windows versions.

Though Visual C++ 2005 Express does give you the option to only install the command-line tools, which should be enough to build GoldED with nmake.

It's probably also possible to install both concurrently without breaking anything. :)

golded-plus/golded.sln is for Visual C++ 2005.

golded-plus/golded.mak is for Visual C++ 6.0 (1998) but should work with newer versions.

But I haven't tested either...
