So if it is Microsoft stopping you, it leads me to believe Microsoft has take some legal action to prevent the Apache Foundation from using a compiler any newer then VC6. Is that the case? With the tidbit of info you provided me about using the WDK libraries to link EXE/DLL's using the MSVCRT, I had started to believe it was because the Apache Foundation did not want to add the dependency of one of the newer runtimes. For the record, I found this blog about it. http://kobyk.wordpress.com/2007/07/20/dynamically-linking-with-msvcrtdll-using-visual-c-2005/ I have succeeded in linking sqlite3 to use MSVCRT with VS2008. Currently I am working on getting Axis2/C to link to the older runtime. Then I am going to move on to compile the ARP's sqlite3 driver to use MSVCRT. So from a technical standpoint, this is most definitely possible. Sam
