Same is true of the CRT. You need the Windows SDK to build the
CRT, but not to use it. At least that's the case in DLL form.
If you statically link, you are essentially performing the last
step in building the CRT, so you'd still need the SDK (for the
import libraries).

Ah, now I understand what you mean. I don't have EE at hand right
now to verify whether it allows to link with CRT statically.
However, according to the following article EE includes core PSDK
components:
