    Dunno about that. Don't have the SDK installed. Comes with Visual Studio anyway.

    For what it's worth....

    This is the compiler that is installed with the Windows 7 SDK....

    Attachment 10422

    If you install Code::Blocks there is a preconfigured setup for this compiler in it's list.

    Erm, you mean that the SDK installs Visual Studio 2008? That's what I gather from your screenshot.

    No... just the compilers. The IDE is not there. That's why Code::Blocks is needed.

    Eh, whatever. I'm not going to pry into that. Microsoft's mysteriousness may remain such.

    Well, they do explain it on the SDK download page...

    Download details: Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 3.5 SP1

    The Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 provides the documentation, samples, header files, libraries, and tools (including C++ compilers) that you need to develop applications to run on Windows 7 and the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1. To build and run .NET Framework applications, you must have the corresponding version of the .NET Framework installed. This SDK is compatible with Visual StudioŽ 2008, including Visual Studio Express Editions, which are available free of charge.
    (Accent added for clarity)

    Perhaps you should be using the latest SDK.

    I am... and it still includes the msvc++ 2008 compiler.
