Take a look at:

Otherwise your only option is going with a already modified branch ( leaknet, tap ) or porting the code yourself to a newer VS platform.

Here's comprehensive instructions on what to download and how to pull and compile LeakNet code. LeakNet 2.0 fork was already ported onto newer VS by VXP.
