I agree with MrAsm. Even if you could compile your program you wouldn't
have the resource editor and wizard support to manage the files. However,
you can do most of this by hand (and to be fair I don't know if the resource
editor is included or not). I also agree with David. It doesn't hurt to
try. Let us know if it works. That might bea way to get people to try out
2005 without having to give up MFC if the process is straightforward enough.

I'm currently using VC++ 2003 to develop a MFC based program.

At some point I may wish to move to VC++ 2005 Express edition but as I
understand it this does not come supplied with MFC.

Is it possible for me to install VC++ 2005 Express edition and make it
use the MFC that came supplied with my VC++ 2003 ? If so, how do I
configure it to do so?

If this IS possible, am I likely to run into any compatability
problems with other components of 2005 Express?
