Visual Studio 2005 Express, originally thought to be released for ~$50 USD, has now been released free. I dont believe it can be used to compile RF, however, due to RF using MFC; however, it is certainly a nice product to have, especially if you are a programmer.

Enjoy!
EDIT: This is not the beta, and will function past the 1 year you can download it within.

This video will take you through the steps for importing your existing C++ files into VC++ Express using the Project From Existing Code wizard. It will cover all steps from naming your project to importing files of different types to adding support for ATL, MFC or CLR. After following these steps, your C++ file will be fully imported into VC++ Express. This video does not cover debugging or updating syntax.
i've reached only 37 errors!
in the download page there are additional instructions to configure mvc++ 2005. Additionally in the video tut page there is a setiing up instruction video. Then I've linked mfc but it seems to have other problems. Now I'm at work I can try this night (your evening?). probably QoD can explain to us how to set up correctly all the compile enviroment...

woah! that'd be cool. what's the movie cover - actually compiling a mfc app with express? i'm on my mac right now and don't have a wmv player on it. what were the errors? *couldn't find stdafx* is a sure sign it's not liking the mfc issue.
[edit posted at the same time as fede. does this cover express for people who don't have mfc? my error comment was to andy]

hmm. the video acted as though express has mfc, yet when i try to compile i get constant errors about included mfc files not being found, yes related to stdafx.h (included files from that file not found). :/ however, stdafx seemed to exist. if i delete the includes not foung, i get over ~800 compile errors 
157 errors is better then the 500 errors I get when trying to compile rf with dev-cpp

dev-cpp has iostream
it should too! Thats wierd, that it doesn't have it I thought iostream was a vital part of cpp. I would search your computer and see if you have it hidden somewere.

Code: Select all
#include <iostream.h> Code: Select all
#include <iostream>don't ask me why this was changed (in my opinion it just breaks old code...)
