Wow, that is some kind of historical event ;-)
but unfortunately VC++ 5 is definitively not supported
(since ages I guess). You will even have problems with
VC++ 6.0. So don't spend your time to get it run - it
won't work because of the non-conformity of this
compiler to the C++ language standard.

Would the freely available Express version of the
Visual Studio family

http://www.microsoft.com/express/

be an option for you? Otherwise consider to use
the mingw compiler using the Bloodshed IDE
