John, did you install this sdk? Is that what is in your program files? Just
curious. I have it downloaded but not installed yet. Perhaps I'll install it
on Overture and see if it installs 64 bit versions.

Subject: Re: Using Microsoft Compilers to compile Java native libraries
This is great information. I have something in my Program Files (x86)
folder called Microsoft SDKs. It has a lot of exe files in its bin
directory. I don't see cl.exe but I do see lc.exe and also rc.exe Is the
compiler there somewhere? Is there a 64-bit version? The one I have has
an x64 directory, but it seems to be empty.
