John,
I think installing Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express Edition will install the command-line compiler at this location by default:

c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin\cl.exe

Jamal,

Please refresh my memory. Does Visual C++ Express have command line cl,
nmake and so on? Is there documentation on making a dll?

Thanks,
John

Due to the serious accessibility problems of the web page for
downloading Express Editions of Visual Studio 2010, I have now posted
the installers for Visual Basic, Visual C#, and Visual C++ on my web
site.  The Visual Web product is not included here because it involves
more extensive pre-installation requirements.  These installers retrieve
software directly from the Microsoft web site, so one obtains the same
components either way.

Visual Basic

Visual C#
http://EmpowermentZone.com/vcs_web.exe

Visual C++
http://EmpowermentZone.com/vc_web.exe

These installers assume that version 4 of the .NET Framework is
installed. One way of installing it is via the GotNET utility, available at
http://EmpowermentZone.com/netsetup.exe

After installing a VS Express Edition, go to the Register dialog off the
Help menu and choose the button to get a registration key online.  After
signing into this Microsoft site, you can get a key from a resulting web
page or email message.  Copy and paste that key into the registration
dialog.

Let me suggest that this is a particularly good time for evaluating how
well different screen readers work with Visual Studio, and reporting
those observations.  The latest JAWS, NVDA, and Window-Eyes versions are
all claiming VS support.  If we find that a screen reader works better
than others in particular ways, the developers of competing screen
readers may be motivated to address their weaknesses so that they can
distinguish themselves as offering the best -- or at least equivalent --
VS support.
