Currently the NTP distribution has Visual Studio solution and project files for:

Visual Studio 2005 (earliest supported)
Visual Studio 2008
Visual Studio 2013
Visual Studio 2015

I've prototyped the addition of support for Visual Studio 2022 but
some things have been rearranged in the next ntp-stable release that
might make it easier to redo the work rather than merge it.
Incidentally, the Visual Studio 2015 tools and SDK can be used with
VS2022 by adding the right optional components.  Those are the last
tools that support targeting Windows XP, VS2019 and later only support
building for Windows Vista and later.

What I'm wondering is which of those versions are actually being used
today.  If you build the NTP distribution from source, or would like
that retain the capability even if you haven't done it lately, please
speak up about which Visual Studio version you're using, and whether
you'd have a problem installing a newer version.  Visual Studio 2022
Community Edition is cost-free and I believe it can be installed
side-by-side with older versions.

As you may have surmised, I'd like to drop support for some of the
older versions to reduce the maintenance work when changes are needed
to project files for building on Windows.

Thanks in advance for your time and attention.

Cheers,
Dave Hart

I'm using 2022 here, would love to be able to use this version and nothave to install a previous iteration.
