This means that you are using the Windows SDK that came with your Visual 
Studio 2005

Yes, this is the SDK I was mentioning.  It does work for Visual Studio 
2005, see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsserver/bb986638.aspx 
under "Supported Compiler, Platform and related software".

For the Windows 7 (7.1) SDK, see 
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8279&751be11f-ede8-5a0c-058c-2ee190a24fa6=True&e6b34bbe-475b-1abd-2c51-b5034bcdd6d2=True 
under "System Requirements".  I think it might be best for you to use 
the 7.1 SDK.

This is true for non-Windows-system code, but note that the DLLs 
provided by the system (i.e. those that is linked by the SDK) link to 
msvcrt.dll, not msvcr90.dll.  Note that the SDK provides headers and 
..lib's (this is the same as what MinGW/MSYS does, but from a GCC on 
Windows perspective), not the system DLLs since they are already on your 
system since the time you installed Windows and any applicable updates.

Hope this clears things up.

With blessings, and cheers!
