See http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/ Instructions how to use Express Edition with Platform SDK are located at http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/visualc/usingpsdk/default.aspx. I asked why it was done this way, and the answer was "Express Edition is relatively small download. It is sufficient for lot of users who want to either write .NET code, or use only Standard C/C++ features. Platform SDK is available as a separate download for years, and there is link to Platform SDK download from Visual C++ Express Edition start page". Flags "Optimize for particular CPU" were removed because customers do not upfate their makefiles when new CPU becomes available. E.g. lot of makefiles we studied still contain /G3 (optimize for 80386). We modified compiler to produce code that runs reasonable well on any modern CPU. Yes, optimizations for the particular CPU can speed executable on that CPU a little, but that executable will slowdown on different CPU much more. Thanks, Eugene
