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.
