Windows Studio 2008 Download

[Colin J. Williams]

i.  I've seen notes, in various places to say that the Express version is
not acceptable for compiling Python packages.  Is it, in fact usable for
this purpose?

ii. The Service Pack 1 has the original studio as a prerequisite.  That is
no longer available from Microsoft.

Any advice would be welcomed.
