<DIV>Dear vtkusers,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Because of the issues on building VTK in VS2008 discussed below, I built VTK in VS2005. However, I would prefer to develop my VTK-related applications in VS2008. Will this cause any problem?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you in advance.</DIV>

<DIV>Dear John,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you so much for pointing out the compiler version issue. You made my day! In one trial with VS2005 (BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF), my vtk C++ examples run beautifully without any turns and twists. There must be an incorrect parameter or a bug somewhere which failed my VS2008 build.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am very grateful for John's hint. Every response counts!</DIV>

One problem is not all of us are using Visual Studio 2008. I use 2005 the most.
