So! I return. I messed around with Ogre a bit and it is now installed, had a bit of trouble at first though.
I was following the install directions on the Ogre website:
http://www.ogre3d.org/tikiwiki/Setting+Up+An+Application+-+Visual+Studio
Which was super easy to follow and a great tutorial apart from the fact that it didnt actually work. I followed every step and still kept getting an error "Cannot open include file: 'OgreCamera.h': No such file or directory", which is actually Visual Studios derpy way of saying 'none of your shit is linking properly, but this is the first one I encountered so thats all I will tell you about'. So that was fun. Googled some stuff, tried changing a bunch of the includes and stuff, none of it worked. So after muchos googles and an assumption that I must have missed something, I came across a video that was actually helpful! :O

Which walks you through downloading VS10 (skip past it if you already have it) and Ogre, then proceeds to download the ogreappwizard which was a lovely piece of software that solved my problem. Here is the linky:

You need to select the right one to download from the list on the left, Im using Visual Studio 10 so I used this one Ogre_VC10_AppWizard_1.7.3.exe and you run that and you open visual studio and you press new project and OH SHIT SON! there it is. sitting there all 'hey, start an ogre project brah' and life is good. Till you run it. Cos it fails again. Its ok though, this one is an easy fix. If you're getting an error that says Cannot open include file: 'boost/thread/tss.hpp' its probably a version issue, so right click on your projects name in the explorer and go to properties, then under C/C++ > Additional Include Directories press the drop down and edit the one that says $(OGRE_HOME)\boost_1_44 to be $(OGRE_HOME)\boost_1_47. Do the same for Linker > General > Additional Library Directories
And then you runnn itttt and then you go 'Fuck yeah!' cos that shit is finally working ^.^
Yeah...I could have made all those links hyperlinks and it would have made your life about 3 seconds easier, but meh :P
