Here are the details:

Windows NT 4.0 SP 6a (German), Visual Studio 6.0 SP 5 (English)

Local drives are C:, D: and Z: and there are a bunch of network drives.

Visual Studio is installed in "C:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio". 
The PSDK is installed in "C:\Programme\Microsoft Platform SDK", but it 
is not normally used.
