Visual Studio 2010 Portable

Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 (ver10)
Drop-in portable MASM and C/C++ compiler

Complete includes, libs, atl/mfc and Windows SDK 7.0A
Command line compiler only, NO IDE, Debug Library stripped out.

Usage:
Just pick and extract .7z archives somewhere on your disk,
you might not want to use them all, here's the precedence
(for instance, if you just need masm, extract only v10_asm):
vs10_asm
vs10_cpp
vs10_crt vs10_inc vs10_lib
vs10_sdk
vs10_mfc
vs10_lib64 vs10_mfc64
//vs10_libarm

Setup C/C++ environment (search path / includes / library)
To make it easier, create a batch file such as below:


:: root folder
@set vs10=x:\\vs10

:: shorten the path
@pushd %vs10%
@mklink /d mfc atlmfc
@mklink /d sdk "Microsoft SDKs\\Windows\\v7.0A"
@popd

:: for arm
:: @set LIB=%vs10%\\lib\\arm;%vs10%\\sdk\\lib;%vs10%\\mfc\\lib\\arm

:: for x64
@set LIB=%vs10%\\lib\\amd64;%vs10%\\sdk\\lib\\x64;%vs10%\\mfc\\lib\\amd64

:: for x86
@set LIB=%vs10%\\lib;%vs10%\\sdk\\lib;%vs10%\\mfc\\lib

:: insert into search path
@set PATH=%vs10%\\bin;%vs10%\\bin\\x86_amd64;%PATH%
@set INCLUDE=%vs10%\\include;%vs10%\\sdk\\include;%vs10%\\mfc\\include


notes:
7z ver20 -snl (save/restore symlink) apparently still
not work well yet, symlink to resource folder ..\\1033
in bin\\x86_amd64 and bin\\x86_arm must be manually fixed.

Type: "rd 1033 & mklink /d 1033 ..\\1033" under those folders.
