It sounds like you are missing the Win32 > Platform SDK. No, I did install the Platform SDK (and tweaked the VS 2005 startup script to invoke the SDK startup script, to set up INCLUDE and LIB paths correctly). But I wasn't sure about the correct order of the paths (since there could be duplicate libraries/headers). Also, the Platform SDK had several versions since VS 2005 was released, and I wasn't sure the last one that's available is compatible with VS 2005. But since you've got the same crash with your prepackaged version, I think my fears were unsubstantiated, and the crash is a real problem.
