You need to make the source you used available as well, especially if you changed anything (that includes project files). But since at least translations and crashdumps don't work in MSVC builds, we would appreciate if such builds were not distributed, but only used by people who can debug the game themselves.

Edit: At least for the GPL part. I have no idea if anything in the MS licenses prevents you from doing that.
