[vtkusers] Use VS2005-VTK in VS2008

[Jim]

John and Michael,
 
Thank you for your concerns. As John quoted, I could build VTK 5.2.1 and examples on VS 2008 Pro + Windows XP, however, all examples failed to run (no images rendered). However, everything worked fine with VS2005 Standard on the same computer.
 
FYI, I had Wrap_TCL=ON, USE_MFC=ON, USE_QT=ON. Any conflict in my configurations? I will turn off USE_MFC and try it again with VS2008 because I will never use MFC.
 
Thank you.

Here is what I can get from the thread about vs2008 problems he was having:

I built vtk-5.2.1 and c++
 examples in VS2008 without any errors. My TCL examples run fine.
However, when I ran Arrays.exe or Cube.exe, I didn't see anything
rendered on the screen, and no error messages either. I tried both
BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF and ON, and I also tried both Debug and Release
builds. It didn't make any difference. I am completely lost. Someone
please help me out. Thank you.

John
