I can tell you that the everywhere-opensource-4.6.X and
everywhere-opensource-4.7.X downloads work with visual studio since I
use them daily with VS2005 x32, VS2008 x32 and x64 and vs2010 x64 with
my two large projects (on a handful of machines) that use Qt, cmake,
vtk ... You can also download a binary version and recompile for a
different compiler but I have not done that in a few releases. My
advice is make sure that you are using the expected Qt version when
running paraview. If you have any other qt dlls on you system zip them
up. Also do not mix debug and release or compiler versions. Remember
that with Visual Studio you can not safely mix compiler versions and
you also can not safely mix debug and release in the same application.
