Just to close the loop on this; the Windows 7 SDK included the C++ compilers, unfortunately the Windows 8 SDK removed them again!
Neil Good point but I don’t think MSTest is available in all version of VS. I seem to remember reading that VS2012 supports building VC++ projects without VS but searching briefly this morning I can’t find it.

I was disappointed with MSTest as the only way I found to run it was to install a full version of Visual Studio 2010 (not sure if this still the case in 2012) on my build machine which doesn’t feel correct to me. WiX already requires VS to be installed, so MSTest wouldn't add a new requirement. (Until someone on the VC++ team decides to officially document how to get the C++ bits on a build box without the full VS install, anyway.) One advantage MSTest has is better support than most for integration-style tests (e.g., payloads for Burn tests). We could use multiple frameworks, though, if something like xUnit.NET offered unit-test features we wanted to take advantage of. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/
