Sorry, no, I've never used MSVC.

But there's a simpler solution for you than learning C and MSVC.
Download an Ubuntu image <http://www.ubuntu.com/>, burn a CD with it,
boot the CD, and you're off to the races.  It won't touch your disk
unless you specifically ask it to install, and it should run all the
tz stuff with no problem, even without installing stuff onto disk.

If for some reason you shy away from distributions with "U" in their
name, there are other possibilities for example, Knoppix
<http://www.knoppix.org/> and Fedora Core <http://fedora.redhat.com/>.

I'm writing this from an AMD Opteron-based box running SunOS 5.10,
which also solves the problem, so it's not like Knoppix/Fedora/Ubuntu
are the only choices.

Or perhaps you're at a place which for nontechnical reasons forbids
you to use anything but Microsoft Windows?  If so, you can go to
another place.  (There's a Starbucks most every corner these days, and
they won't mind if you run Ubuntu on your laptop there to answer
questions like these.  :-)
