Unfortunately, there is not.  Why exactly do you want this?  For Python 2.3,
you don't want the MSVC7 header files, and for Python 2.4 (which does use
VC7), things seem to work fine for me here, even though I also have the SDK
installed.

I did yesterday manage to make a change to win32com.shell that no longer
builds on another box I have access to - I'm sorting that out now.  I see
breakage on 2.3 though which should never try and use the VC7 one, so I
doubt it is exactly the same problem.
