On Xp and W2K the reg program is capable of querying and modifying the

I just discovered the tool we need: users should have the Microsoft Platform SDK installed. A quick search for that directory, and in there, specifically Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK [version, type]\Setup\ is VCDetect.Exe, which is run from the command line and outputs the correct batch-script call for the environment variables to a file:

C:\>VCDetect file
C:\>type file

@ECHO OFF
CALL "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\Tools \VSVars32.bat"
SET MSVCVer=8.0

I still haven't figured out how to call this properly from a bash- shell (however emulated in DOS). By the way, vSvars32.bat is for Visual Studio (more general, better) and--my mistake--vcvars32.bat is specific to Visual C++.

Cheers,
Pete
