[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 It might be easier to rework the entire document as things as 'install the sdk' are outdated in the common scenarios. 1.9+ also allows references to dependencies in an install location instead of only in source layouts.

Hi Bert,
do you want me to attempt to update the INSTALL document and remove
references to VC6/VS.NET (2002/2003) and provide a new patch with the
changes against trunk?
Regards,
Stefan

The other option is opening the solution in Visual Studio and building from there, but running devenv for a commandline build doesn't give you access to errors and warnings.
