That sounds heartening - I'll wait til tomorrow, and if I haven't received any "Danger, Will Robinson" messages, I'll go ahead with it. I actually started to install the Server 2008 SDK but two things made me nervous (so I aborted): 1) The installation started without having asked me where I wanted things installed. I have a vague recollection that it was the same with the 2003 version (and that one gets to nominate the location later on during the installation process) - but it bothered me that I might be about to clobber critical pieces (if not the whole lot) of my 2003 installation. 2) I wasn't even sure that it was the x64 version I was about to install. (How do you tell ?) Earlier on in the day I had installed VC++ 2008, believing it to be an x64 version as many of the components were specifically labelled "x64" - only to discover it was a 32-bit compiler after all. At least, I'm damned if I can get it to work with 64-bit perls, though it works fine with 32-bit perls. > I also have VC6, VC7, VC8 and VC9, all running without interfering with > each other as long as their environments are setup via their batch > scripts, not in the system environment. Yes - I have 32-bit VC7.0 (and now, VC 2008, as mentioned above) as well as MinGW - all environments are set up by batch scripts. > (The only slight niggle I have is that the default vsvars32.bat with VC9 > now looks in the registry for the latest Windows SDK installed.

I'll keep an eye out for that sort of thing. Thanks, Steve. Appreciated.
