Right, sorry, as you say the platform SDK.

As an aside, have you noticed that Windows XP becomes very sluggish
after installing either of these compilers? I have usually installed
2005 on my systems and soon after have noticed that the start menu,
redrawing of the desktop, and explorer have long delays in them. I
can't find anything on the web about this, but I'm suspicious. Maybe
it bloats the registry?

How do you compile wxWidgets? You use 2.8.7? I see that all wxWidget's
*.dsp files and makefile.vc link to it.
