That should already be good enough to build most modules. The only exception being when your modules call some Windows APIs that are only available in Windows 2000 or later. In that case installing the platform SDK and setting up the INCLUDE environment variable to list the SDK directories first should be sufficient. I would recommend against using VS.NET to compile module because you will end up inheriting dependencies on msvcrt70.dll or msvcrt71.dll or whatever compiler you end up using. VC 6 only uses msvcrt.dll, which is part of all Windows versions.
