Identify VS2005 SP1

Back to MainPage.  Back to MiscellaneousStuff.

I use Visual Studio 2005, Service Pack 1, and occasionally we'll run into small problems due to not everyone using the same compiler.  The most innocuous result is different warnings / errors when compiling, and the worst is generally hard-to-reproduce crashes.

Here are the build numbers for the versions of VS 2005 of interest to me:

  • No service pack – Version 8.0.50727.42
  • Service pack 1 – Version 8.0.5727.762
  • SP1, KB971090 - Version 8.0.50727.4053

These will be reported by:

c:\> cl.exe
Microsoft (R) 32-bit C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 14.00.50727.762 for 80x86

And in Visual Studio's Help->About page.
