+These are the instructions to compile PokerTH on Windows using MSVC Express Edition.
+
+1. Get and install MSVC 2005 Express Edition (English version is strongly recommended).
+
+2. Get and install Service Pack 1 for MSVC 2005 Express Edition
+
+3. Get and install a QT related Hotfix for MSVC 2005 SP1:
+http://hotfix.xable.net/download
+English - Visual Studio 2005 - VS80sp1-KB930859-X86-ENU.exe
+
+More information on this:

+
+4. Get and install a new Microsoft Platform SDK
+
+This step can be left out if you use MSVC 2005 Professional instead of the Express Edition.
+
+For example this version:
+[about 1 GB download, sorry I cannot tell you which packages are required]

+Update (not required):

+
+5. Get open source QT 4.2.3 from Trolltech and the MSVC patch from the Sourceforge page:
+
+http://sourceforge.net/projects/qtwin
+
+6. Apply the patch and compile QT, make sure you set the proper environment variables.
+These pages might help:

+
+7. Get boost and bjam and compile boost
+
+Now the worst part:
+8. Get and compile(!) (do not use precompiled version) SDL and SDL_mixer
+(this is a bit tricky, contact me for binaries if you wish)
+
+9. Run
+qmake -tp vc
+in the pokerth directory
+
+10. Open the vcproj file, and Build All.
