Thanks a lot for your help guys, I'm *ALMOST* there now!
I downloaded LibTiff from ftp.remotesensing.org tiff-3.8.2.zip, installed it in C:\Program Files\tiff-3.8.2,
edited libtiff\tiffconf.h and commented out...
/* #define JPEG_SUPPORT 1 */
/* #define PIXARLOG_SUPPORT 1 */
/* #define ZIP_SUPPORT 1 */
as suggested in the documentation (after discovering it was indeed necessary)
There is no tiff-3.8.2\include folder, but I found a bunch of *.h files in tiff-3.8.2\libtiff. Now in Visual Studio, in my TestLibTiff project I did
Project > Properties > C/C++ > Additional Include Directories, added
"C:\Program Files\tiff-3.8.2\libtiff"
Project > Properties > Linker > Additional library directories, added
"C:\Program Files\tiff-3.8.2\libtiff"
In stdafx.h added
#include "tiffio.h"
then [F5] (build solution) and I get this error:
Error 1 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _TIFFOpen referenced in function _wmain TestTiffLib.obj
Error 2 fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals C:\Documents and Settings\Flight Landata\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\TestTiffLib\Debug\TestTiffLib.exe 1 Any idea what I might be missing?

For Windows, I suggest just building libtiff yourself from source using nmake. See:

It seems rather backwards to me to use gcc on Windows unless you absolutely have to when you have access to such a great debugger like Visual Studio.
