FWIW I installed 2005 but couldn't get it to compile.
There is also a VS2005 SP1 at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/928957/visual-studio-2005-service-p.... But i would not worry about VS2005 either too much.
There's an error in spirit, which is a bit odd, as it's the original spirit which hasn't changed. Seemed to work fine with 2008, but I've changed it (in develop) to not use wide streams for older versions of Visual C++ anyway. I probably should change it to filter out any UTF-8 characters, but they're quite rare in this context, so it should be mostly okay for now.
