2)Everybody needs to install the service pack 1 update.

For Visual Studio.NET 2005 express users, it's available on the same page as Visual C++ express. It's towards the bottom of the page:

For Visual Studio.NET 2005 users, it's available on this page. The download links are towards the bottom of the page:

People tend to skip this because they have XP service pack 2, they think they don't need it. XP service packs and Visual C++ service packs are not the same thing so make sure not to skip this step.
Now that Visual Studio is properly set up, you can resume the SDL set up tutorial for Visual Studio.NET 2003 or Visual Studio.NET 2005/2008 express.
