VS2k5 is by far the best option.

We tend to build wxWidgets ourselves because it ensures we get exactly
the options we need. There is an easier way to do it though (I need to
update that webpage):
- Get a checkout of the pgAdmin code from SVN (a snapshot won't work as
I just tweaked a file you'll need)
- Unzip the wxWidgets source code somewhere, and setup an environment
variable (%WXWIN%) to point to it.
- Open a Visual Studio command prompt (if you're using Express, it's
part of the Platform SDK), and change directory to xtra/wx-build in the
pgAdmin source tree.
- Run the build-wxmsw.bat file.
Setting up the rest of the dependencies is just a case of downloading
everything into a directory and setting up the environment variables per
the webpage.

Feel free - if I spend 10 minutes helping you and you end up
contributing even just one new feature it'll be worth it.
