Is there some way I can do something like this
#if <running on Visual C++ 2005 SP1>
//SP1 code here
#else
//other code here
#endif

Yu could use the "_CRT_ASSEMBLY_VERSION" define...
But this only works if you do *not* define "_USE_RTM_VERSION"...

if (strcmp(_CRT_ASSEMBLY_VERSION, "8.0.50727.762") == 0)
_tprintf(_T("SP1\n"));
else
_tprintf(_T("RTM\n"));
