This is probably a question best asked of ethereal-dev@xxxxxxxxxxxx, as most of the development work I do isn't done with MSVC++, as that doesn't run on Mac OS X. :-)

For information on setting up the Windows build environment, see the Ethereal Developer's Guide, which is linked to from this page:

Also see

and the pages to which it links.

Note that Ethereal builds on Windows are typically done from the command line, although you might be able to make a "Makefile project" for it in the Visual Studio GUI.
