I rarely use Visual Studio, so I've never used an event log. I googled around
and the event log isn't where the sites said its supposed to be.

I know I'm not the only having this problem as I've seen other GDnet topics
about it. The set up procedure for SDL has pretty much stayed the same since
VC++ 6.0. What's changed since then?
