Thanks for the link almut.

I'm also unable to find a 'windows.h' with this compiler. Perl can't find it either, which means I can't use this compiler with ActivePerl (straight out of the box). Does 'windows.h' simply not exist in Visual Studio 2005 ... or is there another explanation ?

Not that I really want to use this particular compiler with ActivePerl, but I'm desperately trying to find a C/C++ compiler that I can use on this box. (Vista 64 breaks MinGW - VC6 and VC7 won't install.)

I was having great difficulty in getting hold of Windows Server 2003 R2 Platform SDK (connectivity problems mainly), so thought I would download VC++ 2005 and give it a run in the meantime.

Anyway, I think I've finally managed to get hold of Windows Server 2003 R2 Platform SDK ... fingers crossed ...

Cheers,
Rob
