Building using VS2005 is not supported for 2.5.x.  It requires quite a lot of 
code changes and there are installation changes too.

Not sure if innosetup supports merge modules (probably does these days) but 
you need to install the vs2005 runtimes from the microsoft merge modules so 
they register with the system correctly (otherwise you get the 'incorrect 
installation' error).

You also need vs2005 compiled versions of all the dependent libraries - you 
cannot mix vs2003 and vs2005 code in the same build as the runtimes are 
incompatible.
