We should remove/change this comment. It is utterly misleading. > 1) If MSSdk is set it does not automatically mean that cl.exe and the > rest are available.

I meant to leave this as a per-shell choice. If you set MSSdk, you indicate that the environment you created is "right", and distutils should not second-guess you. This is problematic if the user did "register environment variables" when installing the SDK, so I plan to change this to look for a different environment variable (in addition) > 2) As far as I have been able to determine .Net 2.0 uses > sdkInstallRootv2.0. Also it installs by default under C:\Program > Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\ Forget about Visual Studio 8 and .NET 2.0.

Correct. This helps for Itanium and AMD64 extension modules. > So basically a bunch of logic needs to be rewritten for newer version > support and I will investigate this. No. The checks are all fine.
