Robin, I have extended your patch a little. If it works for you, we should submit it to Greg. The attached file (I have not mastered diff on NT yet) does the following: 1. Try to find cl.exe and link.exe in the path. If this succeeds, it assumes everything is set up and starts the build. User in control! 2. Then it reads the versions from the registry, starting with the highest one until it finds cl and link. For debugging, it also prints the version number it uses. 3. If this also fails, DistutilError is raised. Thomas
