This also makes it more viable to use the Windows SDK compilers. If you install the Windows SDK 7.0 (which includes MSVC9) and Windows SDK 7.1 (which includes the platform toolset files for MSVC9 - toolsets were invented later than the 7.0 release) then you should be able to build from the command line or any version of Visual Studio from 2010 onwards.
I suspected this, but hadn't brought it up because I hadn't looked into it in depth. This sounds good though! The SDKs are supported quite a bit longer than VS versions, aren't they?
The downloads are available for longer than VS, but they are also unsupported. They also have known installation issues that won't be fixed, so they aren't really a *good* option, just a possibility. Cheers, Steve
