I haven't seen anyone on the list testing the source with that version (MSVC 2005 was the first version to have a free express version so this one hasn't) so these are probably broken as well. MSVC 6 was released in 1998 and was succeeded by MSVC .NET in 2002, so maybe these files (all.dsp, all_static.dsp, all_dynamic.dsp and flac.dsw if I'm correct) should be removed from the repository? Someone spotting them might think MSVC 6 is still supported.

It would be good to use project references rather than hardcoding .lib paths into the linker settings. It would also be useful to have separate project configurations with and without Ogg.

I'm happy to have them part of the project but I cannot maintain, update or fix them if they break.
