Migrating to VC++ 2008

I finally broke down and ordered Visual Studio 2008 and have spent the last few weeks migrating the game to the latest version of Visual C++. Most of it has been working fairly well. I still have a few things to work out before we start the next campaign.

Tonight I got the new installer working to my satisfaction. The old installer used Install Shield and just barely fit on a floppy. The new installer generates a .MSI file that is about four times the size of the old Setup.exe file.
