What works

At least the compiler (cl.exe) and the linker (linker.exe). dumpbin.exe also seems to work fine.

These executables run, but I am not sure if they really work.

bscmake.exe
clstencil.exe
cvtres.exe
editbin.exe
lib.exe
link.exe
mt.exe
nmake.exe
rc.exe
sproxy.exe
undname.exe
vcdeploy.exe
xdcmake.exe

Passing the /c, /link /LIBPATH, /we[n], /E, /Zg, /Zs, /Fa, /Fm, /nologo, /WL, /showIncludes flags to cl.exe works.

Passing the /O1, /O2, /Os, /Ox, /Og, /Od, /Ot flags to cl.exe seems to work to, but wasn't tested extensively.

What does not

Compiling with debug info (/Zi) and linking with debug info (/DEBUG) as somebody else reported in the comments.

Compiling to CLR doens't work:

cl.exe /c /clr:pure main.cpp
Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 14.00.50727.42

HowTo / Notes

HOWTO

Make sure you operate on a clean WINEPREFIX (~/.wine)!

Download the full PSDK into temp folder as follows:

$ for ((i=1; i<=10; i++)) ; do wget http://download.microsoft.com/download/platformsdk/sdk/update/WIN98MeXP/EN-US/2600.2180/FULL/PSDK-FULL.$i.cab ; done
$ wget http://download.microsoft.com/download/platformsdk/sdk/update/WIN98MeXP/EN-US/2600.2180/FULL/PSDK-FULL.bat
$ wget http://download.microsoft.com/download/platformsdk/sdk/update/WIN98MeXP/EN-US/2600.2180/FULL/Extract.exe

Run the supplied batch file to extract all cabinets to temp PSDK install folder:

$ wine start.exe PSDK-FULL.bat "C:\psdktemp"

Execute the installer from "C:\psdktemp" folder

$ wine ./setup.exe

Installing components action takes a considerable time (consuming 100% CPU)

This is bug 14168. The installer takes a considerable when the Installing components action is processed on install page. Depending on machine speed it takes 5-10 minutes until it really begins to copy files.

Wine's msi component executes large table joins which causes this performance hit (CPU usage 100% for long time). Just be patient.
