Having read Noel Byron's reply also, I'm tempted to say there is some confusion here between a Visual *Studio* toolkit (VS 2003) and a Visual *C++* toolkit (VC 2003). There is defenitly a Visual Studio Toolkit I downloaded the 2005 version reciently (to test IornPython integration), and I remember coming accross a 2003 version too ('cause Microsoft never like to make a download easy to find ;-)).
