Rob, You shouldn't need to install any version of Visual Studio. The CMSC uses some freely distributable VS2008 components.
You should be able to just use the latest CMSC binary distribution from GitHUb. I think the Tomcat instructions are based on building the CMSC from source. I don't know whether binary distributions weren't being provided when I set up my build environment, whether I missed that they were available of whether I wanted to build it from source for integrity reasons. If you want to go the build your own route, I have tried to expand on the instructions at: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TOMCAT/Common+Native+Build+Environment although it is probably simpler just to use a binary distribution of CMSC from github.
