“Re-ghosted” my computer back to before I tried installing anything to do with ImageMagick, then started "configure.dsw" in "C:\ImageMagick-6.8.6\VisualMagick\configure". I read somewhere I needed to set the active project to “Release”, so, [Build] → [Set Active Configuration] → ...

Let me reiterrate, I have notes and notes here and do intend on posting my results with how I setup everything to work with vc++ 6.0 when I can get it going.
