Hi,

support for Visual Studio is quite limited, especially if you don't have 
a Fortran compiler.

You should have a look at the precompiled libraries at
http://www.coin-or.org/download/binary/Ipopt/
especially the .7z ones.

If you compile by yourself, then regarding 3rd party software, one way 
is to get Mumps and Metis. For Mumps, you'll need to have a Fortran90 
compiler. Another option is to get HSL MA27 and Metis, this only 
requires a Fortran77 compiler, but you need to make sure that the 
license is ok for you.
If you have to stick with Windows, then get cygwin or mingw to run 
configure and make.
