Both the links given for installing the software get "download no longer
available".
Since I have built many times on the machine in question that download
cannot be necessary. Since the instructions do not specify the files, it
is difficult to search for them.
That isn't good at all.
My 13 March 2018 email entitled "First steps in building with MSVC 14 /
Visual Studio 2015" described some of the work involved in using newer MSVC
versions to build AOO. That "Windows Kit" needs better integration into the
build and packaging, but I think it will limit us to Windows 7 and later
(the irony being that the open-source mingw[-w64] toolchain, which only
links to the primordial MSVCRT.DLL, could let us support even Windows 9x).
Hopefully we can also simplify the current situation with the many MSVCR*
versions we use in the process.
Get started and I'll catch up in a few weeks when I am more free?

Do you have any idea what changed? I have built many, many times on that
computer, but it looks as though I need to specify more paths to keep
configure happy. I have old versions of Visual Studio.
