 To build Vidalia under Visual Studio, you will first need to obtain Qt's 
-source code and compile it with Visual Studio support. To do that, follow these
-steps:
+source code and compile it with Visual Studio support. The following
+directions show how to compile Qt with Visual Studio 2005 support, but a
+similar process can be followed for other versions of VS. 
 
-  1. Download Qt's source code from 
+  1. Download and install Visual C++ 2005 Express
+ 
+       http://www.microsoft.com/express/2005/download/default.aspx
 
-      http://trolltech.com/developer/downloads/qt/windows
+  2. Download and install the Windows Platform SDK and configure Visual C++ with
+     the location of the Platform SDK's executable, include, and library
+     directories.
 
-  2. Extract the source to some directory without spaces (e.g., C:\Qt\4.3.3)
- 
-  3. Open a command prompt and 'cd' to the directory to which you extracted
-     Qt's source code. (e.g., 'cd C:\Qt\4.3.3')
+       http://www.microsoft.com/express/2005/download/default.aspx
 
-  4. Configure Qt with support for your version of Visual Studio. For example,
+     It is important to also install the "Microsoft Web Workshop (IE) SDK", even
+     though that seems irrelevant.
+
+  3. Download the Qt/Windows open source edition source code and extract it to a
+     directory with no spaces (e.g., C:\Qt\4.3.3).
+
+       http://trolltech.com/developer/downloads/qt/windows
+
+  4. Edit the Visual Studio  2005 command prompt environment variables to
+     include the platform SDK files, by opening
+
+       C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat
+
+     and adding
+
+       C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Servers 2003\R2\Include
+
+     to the INCLUDE variable and
+
+       C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Servers 2003\R2\Lib
+
+     to the LIB variable. Modify the path to the platform SDK files as
+     appropriate, depending on where you installed Visual Studio and the
+     Platform SDK in Steps 1 and 2.
+
+  5. Open the Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt and 'cd' to the location of your
+     extracted Qt source code (e.g., C:\Qt\4.3.3).
+
+  6. Configure Qt with support for your version of Visual Studio. For example,
      to configure Qt with support for Visual Studio 2005, you would run:
 
        configure.exe -debug-and-release -static -fast -platform win32-msvc2005
 
      See Qt's README file for more available platform options.
