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

Hi Carl,

Thanks for your feedback.

Below is the further feedback from the VC product team:

"Win2k3 and older Platform SDKs contained ATL, MFC, CRT, STL that can only
be used to port 32bit apps built with VC6 to 64bit. Windows Vista SDK can
be used to target Windows 2k3, WinXP and Windows Vista. This SDK ships VC05
version of x86, x64, ia64, x86->x64, x86->ia64 compilers + CRT and Std. C++
libraries (headers, libs, redist MSMs, pdbs). However, it does not install
any version of ATL and MFC.

If you want to get ATL and MFC, you should be installing Visual Studio Std.
or higher."

Additionally, to use the Platform SDK to build VC applications, you should
use the CMD shell installed with it. This CMD shell will set most of the
environment variables from the Platform SDK correctly, including PATH, LIB,
INCLUDE etc... It is a good idea to use Process Explorer to view all the
environment variables setting of a process. Please refer to the link below
to install Process Explorer:

Thanks.
