Re: [INTERNALS-WIN] PHP7: which Windows Kit?

This discussion suffers from talking about semantics like targetting and
the use of SDK's. Let us just talk filenames. I installed VS2015 Pro and
chose to install the Windows 10 UM as well. If I follow the wiki
description, open up a 'Developer Command Prompt for VS2015' to compile
PHP7 or Openssl, the building process includes

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.10240.0\um\WinSock2.h

The people from Apachelounge also installed VS2015 but chose not to
install the Windows 10 UM. If they follow the wiki description and open a
'Developer Command Prompt for VS2015' the build includes

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\include\um\WinSock2.h

If you say that should not make any difference, I will take your word for
that. But I have my doubts.

Those files in C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\include\um\ were
installed together with VS2013 and the ones in C:\Program Files
(x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.10240.0\um with VS2015. Is that the
"same VS version ABI/API"?
