Actually, it is right on the money Pete.  When Platform SDK installs it 
has a big red X and asks are you really sure you want to change your 
environment variables.  I MIGHT have been dumb and said, sure why not.

I have uninstalled the Platform SDK Windows Server 2003 (R2) [this is 
supposed to cover Windows XP SP2 where the older platform SDK DID NOT as 
well as Vista].  It definitely broke the interop (link between languages 
in our case,  between C and C#).

I will uninstall MSVS Studio 2003 Enterprise-Architect provided to me by 
work and install it again and ALLOW IT to set the environment variables.
