Visual C++ 2003 and the Windows SDK?

In short is this combination do-able? There doesn't seem to be a "Register SDK Directories with 2003" tool and I when I go to use the v6.0 includes I am running into compilation issues regarding a header (sal.h) that shipped with 2005.

Thanks in advance,

Dave

The Windows SDK targets development in Visual Studio 2005.

Yes I have seen other posts using the same term "target". Target to me is a bit of a weasel word that doesn't rule out the possiblility of using VC++ 2003. I was hoping to find a plainly worded answer from MS. Something along the lines of the "the various incarnations of the Windows SDK are incompatible with previous versions of Visual Studio and MS has no plans to make it compatible with previous version of VS".

I will take target to mean exactly that and if I want to take advange of the new Vista API's an upgrade of VS a requirement.

Thanks for your help,
