Problem MSVCTOOLKIT vs MSTOOLKIT
Hello,

when i try to compile nsis with scons and the command line MSVCTOOLKIT=YES, i get an error:

cl /nologo /GS- /O1 /W3 /EHsc /TP /D_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS /D_CRT_NONSTDC_NO_WA
RNINGS /c Contrib\VPatch\Source\GenPat\POSIXUtil.cpp /Fobuild\release\VPatch\Sou

scons: *** [build\release\VPatch\Source\GenPat\POSIXUtil.obj] Error 2
scons: building terminated because of errors.
D:\Scripts NSIS\NSIS-20070303>

If i replace MSVCTOOLKIT by MSTOOLKIT there is no problem,

to compile i use Platform SDK for Server 2003 R2 and Visual C++ Express 2005.

MSVCTOOLKIT is not a valid option. There's only MSTOOLKIT, no VC. Does the documentation suggest using MSVCTOOLKIT somewhere?

Thanks, i was thinking that MSTOOLKIT was only for VC toolkit 2003 and MSVCTOOLKIT was for VC 2005 Express...

Sorry

VC 2005 Express support is automatic. Only the toolkit needs special command line arguments.
