That's good to know - thanks, Jan.
Sorry for the confusion.

I've installed  the SDK 2008. I have an AMD64 processor and Windows Vista64 
SP1, so I ran:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Bin\setenv" /Release /ia64 
/2008

That tells me:
The IA64 compilers are not currently installed.
Please go to Add/Remove Programs to update your installation.

If I specify /x64 as the second switch I get the same message, except 
s/IA64/x64/.
And if I specify either /x86 or /vista, then it's the x86 compilers that are 
reported as missing.

Runing 'cl /?' reports that 'cl' is not recognized as an internal or 
external command, operable program or batch file.
Where are these compilers supposed to be ? (I would've thought in separate 
folders under "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Bin", but there 
are no folders in that directory.)

I can find Add/Remove Programs in the control panel on XP, but not on Vista 
(using "Classic View" of the control panel).
And is going to "Add/Remove Programs" really going to help ?

I'll continue looking - and maybe even try installing again. In the 
meantime, any help appreciated.

(Not a lot of urgency with this, btw - so please don't "drop what you're 
doing" just to find the time to offer advice. If it takes a month to get 
this sorted out then I reckon I've got off lightly :-)

Cheers,
Rob
