Rimantas,
The express version is free, but you have to register to obtain a free key code.
It works very good.

. So maybe I did not true choice - from mine search and Antonio direct it's the same . I directed to dowload Visual C++ 2010 Express . Now repeated instalation . In mine case D:\VS10 folder - no any SDK file ( kernel32.lib , user32.lib ) . Can't understand what I'm doing bad ... 
Antonio
Is this the product to download ?

Hello,
Please, use this link:
http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9709949
It worked fine for me.
In fact, applications compiled with MSVC 2010 seems to be faster, particularry on painting.
Hope it helps.
A few comments here.
1) Do not use FWH 11.12 ! Its time to upgrade. Antonio made a lot of updates in 2012 that related to MSVC, so you should get the current version !
2) There are other threads on this topic. In one I posted the UE Studio settings ( for their make file system ). I use that and it works very well, and is quite quick.
3) Generally your code should work fine, but there may be a few issues, especially with 3rd party products. You will want to post specific questions if you run into problems.
I have a VERY substantial app built with FWH / Harbour 3 / MSVC 2010. I only have one problem with that build which I need to work on with Antonio. Otherwise everything is now working beautifully.

Timm,
Did you notice an increase on speed?.
Thanks.

I haven't done speed tests. However, it may be a bit faster.
My main reason for moving to MSVC was compatibility. I have an old xHarbour build that I use still for my distributed product. I stopped paying for upgrades because there simply weren't any. There is so much new development in Windows and I feel it is good to use the newer tools.
I have Visual Studio 2012 but have not tried it yet with my builds.
The biggest issue is identifying all of the libraries that need to be used with the applications.

engel.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 5 unresolved externalsRimatas,
Errors at Five32 are due to you are using and old FWH version. I don麓t get those errors with latest builds.
And the errors at engel.obj are because you are not linking TMYSQLSERVER function/class and TVISTAMENU. Latest, TVISTAMENU, is from Canal5 and included in Fivewin, maybe you made your own class or it is not included by mistake in your current FW version.
Maybe the fastest way to solve such problems, appart from TMYSQLSERVER, is updating your FWH version.
Regards,

. TVistaMenu alreday existed in mine version . Maybe you know how to build libmysql lib from dll ? And how you are directing VC ++ vars ?Rimatas,
I set up the enviroment variables in vcvars in the system enviroment at Control Panel.
To create the lib:
impdef.exe mydll.def mydll.dll
lib.exe /def:mydll.def /out:mydll.def
The problem at your FWH build was that no one were using msvc 2010. Due to Timm Stone麓s interest, Antonio reacted very quickly and professional as usual and updated and make it fully compilant. It is important to keep the product updated to get latest changes.
Hope it helps.

Rimantas,
Microsoft delivers updates for Windows constantly, does that mean that Windows is buggy ? Not in my opinion, simply that a product can be enhanced and improved. The problem is not that there are bugs, the problem is that they may not get solved 
We publish new builds every month since years, I think that shows a great commitment to deliver updates that enhance FWH constantly and a very fast response to solve bugs
