[Python-Dev] Switching to VC.NET 2003 (original) (raw)

In my own sandbox, I have prepared project files for VC.NET.

Unless there are any strong objections, I'd like to switch over to VC.NET shortly, disabling VC6 builds. In the process, I will also update the build dependencies to more recent versions of several packages.

Will the resulting installer still install a working version of Python on old versions of Windows, like win95 and win98? I presume this will require that the MSI support is present on the target system; does this exist for Win95 etc? How about Windows NT 4.0? If not, what's the oldest Windows version still supported?
