That's correct.

The VS2005 build is SP1. 
The VS2008 build is not SP1.

Building both service pack levels would be extremely difficult. So we're 
considering what to do now for VS2008. If we leave it as it is, people who 
have upgraded like you will have problems. If we upgrade, then people who 
haven't upgraded yet will have problems.

Ideally, we wouldn't upgrade the compiler in our package builder until 
4.6, but it looks like something we'll have to do sooner than that.

In other words, blame Microsoft for breaking binary compatibility too 
often.
