[I accidentally replied this in the wring thread on my phone]
I'm guessing VC6 still works as that was used in many httpd builds until recently, but 2002 and 2003 are as far as I know unmaintained for a few releases and most likely broken. A patch to INSTALL would be welcome, but I just tried to improve the patch a bit further. It might be easier to rework the entire document as things as 'install the sdk' are outdated in the common scenarios. 1.9+ also allows references to dependencies in an install location instead of only in source layouts.
