That only changes which compiler is used under the hood. The nmap code genuinely requires 2010, so the old compiler 
failed for me.

The page I mentioned allows compiling apps with the 2010 compiler. I tried that today, and it worked for me.

Since this project isn't mfc-based, the more hackish steps can be skipped.
Steps I did: 5, 7-8, 9-11 (non-mfc asm reduces to the following)
----------
.model flat

.data
__imp__EncodePointer@4 dd dummy
__imp__DecodePointer@4 dd dummy

EXTERNDEF __imp__EncodePointer@4 : DWORD
EXTERNDEF __imp__DecodePointer@4 : DWORD

.code
dummy proc
mov eax, [esp+4]
ret 4
dummy endp 

end
----------
In his final note, the author mentions static linking to avoid msvcr100.dll (which itself would've wanted the needless 
funcs).
He is referring to: ncat project,Properties, C, Code Generation - Runtime Lib = Multi-Threaded (non-dll)


It amounts to setting 3 options and pasting that file.
Now I can run ncat on WinXP SP1.
