environment.  So I'm dreading the VS install.

Why can't you use the compilers that are provided as part of the free
Windows SDK 6.0 download?

IIRC, the last time I attempted a PSDK update (I'm pretty sure it was Windows SDK 6), it hosed my entire [existing] VS setup such that I could no longer build _anything_ - forcing me to downgrade back to an older local copy (and even that took a bit to fix). The last time I did an upgrade to VS itself, it silently hosed the Win32 OpenSSL build.

My dev. environment is highly customized. And very picky. Haven't run into a dev. tool yet that didn't destroy some setup I've got during its install procedure.
