@mwichmann I'm onboard with trying to close out as many MSVC issues as possible...

This issue exists in the current code base. Any target other than x86 should fail. Reproducible on 64-bit windows with: ``` env = Environment(MSVC_VERSION = '9.0', MSSDK_VERSION = '7.0', tools...

I'm pretty sure that TARGET_ARCH could be undefined. I think it will need something similar (or the actual call) to get_host_target in vc.py. Thinking out loud as I haven't started...

I need to look to see if there are any order dependencies: vc before sdk or vice-versa. The vc code should set the TARGET_ARCH if it was undefined. As long...

The tool order matters. The first environment: ``` env = Environment(MSVC_VERSION = '9.0', MSSDK_VERSION = '7.0', tools = ['mslink', 'msvc', 'mssdk']) ``` produces different results from the second environment: ```...

As always, there are a couple of things going on here. The current method of decomposing the msvc version goes back to 2.0.0.final.0 and earlier. > How to proceed? Among...
