Code (ANSI API, of course) compiled with MSVC2008 does not run under
Win98SE; instead a box appears with a message like "A newer Windows version
is required. Please install a newer version of Windows."

Is it possible to compile with MSVC2008 for Win98SE, and which options do I
have to set for this?

Thanks,
Friedel

Your best bet is to ask in a Microsoft-specific group. But if you're
using ANSI C, why not just pick up any of the many free compilers that
work with Win98SE? DJGPP, mingw, Borland...

I think the macros are _WIN32_WINNT, _WIN32_WINDOWS and WINVER, further
documentation on setting up the SDK can be found in the MSDN
(http://msdn.microsoft.com).

Thank you for your reply.
Googling around I found this:
http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/112283-visual-studio-2008-and-windows-9x/
The Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, and Windows NT platforms are no
longer supported.

Thank you for your reply.
Usually I compile with Borland BCC 5.x for Win98, but in this special case
the BCCs are too old (missing header and lib files).
MSVC2008 does not support Win9x any more, see my reply to Ulrich Eckhardt.
Interestingly the same code compiled with VS2005 works under Win98.
