Compile ATL project with only Windows SDK 7.1

Question

I have a project which needs to be compiled. It is compiled on our build server which I have only installed Windows SDK 7.1 on. I would like to not have to install an actual Visual Studio on this machine, but am getting an error "cannot find atlstr.h" file which I've just read is part of ATL which is part of Visual Studio.

Is there any way I can get this to compile without installing Visual Studio on the build server?

Answer 1

ATL is now freely available as a part of Windows Driver Kit: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/gg487438.aspx

Answer 2

No. ATL is a fundamental part of the non-free versions of MSVC.
