Windows Visual C++ in OSX?

Windows Visual C++ in OSX? I'm trying to use Windows Visual C++ Express Edition 2008 in OSX with Wine, but X11 tells me that it was unable to find a volume for extraction and to verify my permissions, which are read and write. Terminal gives back

"According to the Wine Application Database Visual Studio Express 2008 doesn't work (rating of ""Garbage""), however Visual Studio Express 2005 has a rating of ""Bronze"". You could try and find a copy of 2005 and give that a try.

As another alternative, you don't necessarily need the IDE to compile code. You could very easily write valid C++ code in the editor of your choice and then use the command line compiler (cl.exe) and linker (link.exe) included with VC++ Express to compile and link the executable. Your more likely to have success running just the compiler and linker on Wine than the entire IDE.
