I imagine the Windows SDK would be enough, as it also contains the compilers, at least until version 2010. With 2012 I think Visual C++ Desktop Express might be required, in addition to the SDK. -- Paulo

That mechanism is also used on Linux, OSX, FreeBSD and Solaris, and is also incompatible with C++ EH on those platforms.
