Re: Building VC++ 8.0 code on a machine without Visual Studio 2005

Hi Carl,

Do you want to build VC8 managed code or unmanaged code? Windows Platform
SDK includes most of the Windows header files and static library files,
however, it does not include C++ compilers etc.., please refer to the link
below for more details:
"Windows? Server 2003 SP1 Platform SDK Web Install"
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=A55B6B43-E24F-4EA3-
A93E-40C0EC4F68E5&displaylang=en

As you can see, "Development Tools" is still a requirement for Windows
Platform SDK. So I assume there is no official way to build C/C++
applications on Windows without installing VS. Anyway, I will consult
internally to confirm this point. I will update you ASAP. Thanks.

Best regards,
Jeffrey Tan
