The package for Visual Studio contains only drivers of 64 bits target machine. I cannot rebuild Omni Orb core since we always wants to use Omni Orb default package.

So, I would read that as a statemanet that he would provide prebuilt 
binaries for Windows on request.

I actually reply because I'm curious why you seem to have problems with 
building omniORB yourself on Windows/VS. Are there any specfic problems? 
(I mean, it's not like using the prebuilt binares saves you anything but 
the build.)
