[Xitami] no msvc

[Brian Kowald]

We have built Xitami with Visual 6. It could be looking for that
compiler specifically. In addition to the VC compiler, you probably need
the latest windows platform sdk.

Why don't you just put on the binary and not worry about building it?

xitami users,
I have successfuly used xitami for 3 years on an XP laptop.  Loaded
locally. Worked wonderfully.  Used to test files prior to sending to
production server.

Recentlly migrated to newer laptop.  XP.
Downloaded Xitami 2.5 today.
It will not install.
 This is the error when I run build.bat:
C:\xitami>build.bat
"Cannot find MSVC compiler in C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\OFFICE11\VS Runtime." "Please set MSVCDir environment variable to
VC98 directory."

OK.  Did that via Control Panel --> system --> etc.  Log off. No
difference.  Shut down.  No difference.  Changed paths all over the
place.  Log Off, repeatedly. I can't make this thing work.

Machine has studio pro 8 and vb.net installed.
Uninstalled ALL net and studio stuff.
Visual Basic 6 is left.  (I have a legacy thing on another machine.)
Earlier Xitami worked on this level of install.

Searched drive for MSVC.  Huge number of path options but no VC98.

I know it can't be this hard.  What the heck am i missing?
I am not interested in doing anything exotic.  I just want to test html,
perl, cgi, php things.

I think Xitami is very efficient for this but what happened?

What is MSVC anyway?  I Googled it and still don't understand what the
heck is going on.

Thanks.
stan
