I'd like to recompile an old source code of a development program which requires tools inside Visual Studio 97.
I was a little confused if all the Windows 95/98/ME SDKs delivered after Visual Studio 6.0 are compatible with Visual studio 97. I do have a windows 98 DDK, but out of experience I know the proper SDK should be installed first.
I would like to know which MSDN SDK/DDK release is the latest to be compatible with both Visual Studio 97 and Windows 9*/ME.
Thank you in advance!
Edit: I found the SDK Darran Rowe mentioned here:

Thank you all for your comments!
Thankfully to Igor Tandetnik, I finally know which SDK is the latest Compatible with Windows 9*.
I also started a post in the MSDN Forum: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/7a9ca16c-e5e9-4e19-923b-ed8b4d7865b8/which-windows-sdk-is-comptaible-with-vs-97?forum=visualstudiogeneral
Thanks to one user there named Darran Rowe, We know the following:"the last version to be compatible with Visual C++ 5 is the Microsoft Platform SDK September 1999".
So with that said, we established that the latest SDK which is fully compatible with both Visual Studio 97 and Windows 9* is the Microsoft PSDK September 1999 edition, released in October, 1999 and some SDKs released later may be compatible with Windows 9*, but apparently not with VS 97.

However, I still have to find out if it will build.
If someone knows another reason why building doesn't work?
Please leave an answer below, and I guarantee I'll (temporarily) vote the first answer, for motivation.
Thank you all for your support and I hope this helped all of you!
Sincerely,
