Can I compile using VS2008 C ++ compiler using VS2010 and only Server 2008 Platform SDK SDK?

I would prefer not to install the entire VS 2008 installation, given that I will not use anything but the compiler. Will VS 2010 multitasking work correctly using only the Platform SDK instead of installing VS2008 completely?

Custom settings are not fine-grained enough for you to leave large chunks such as an IDE. This is not only the SDK used, at least there should be a VC subdirectory there. And the bits are Common7, also the folder containing the IDE. Rename the folders, delete them later if this works.

You can directly call .net 3.5 MSBuild from the command line by digging it from the frameworks folder in windows. I'm not sure if you could reassign Visual Studio to another copy. More importantly, if you did not find an error, a copy of MSBuild included in the .Net 4 structure should correctly build a project oriented to the 3.5 structure. This way you can jump through some unnecessary hoops in the first place.
