Hi,
It looks like the Cinema R14 SDK is now using Visual Studio 2010.

Can Visual C++ 2010 Express be used to compile the SDK libs?

I only have VS 2008.

Hi,

Yes it' s possible to compile and develop plugins with Visual C++ 2010 Express but you have to install also the Windows SDK to get the 64 bit compiler (to compile for Cinema 4D 64 bit version) :

Thanks, got it compiled, both 32-bit and 64-bit!

BTW, if anybody tries to install the Windows SDK 7.1 and it fails, you must un-install all
versions of "Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x86/x64 Redistributables" from your computer,
before you can install this SDK. It was a pain to figure out, but got it working.

And the Windows SDK will install on Windows XP SP3 too, even though it might say "Windows 7".

I don't recommend installing Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1 either.

Your x64 projects will suddenly go missing. Really buggy.

Can't even import/export theme settings (broken by design?), so you're stuck with the ugly default theme.
