Yes, apparently the ITTVIS example assumes you have Microsoft Visual
installed.

Well, I spent most of the day installing Microsoft Visual C++ 10.0 and
regist for the free version.

So far, here are the problems I am having :

cl.exe : Solution ?
mspdb100.dll pop-up : Solution ?
stdio.h 'no such file' : Solution ?

I am sure the problems are related to path, as all these file are
within the new install of MS Visual Studio 10.0.
