That is troubling. I always thought of zeromq as having as good Windows support as anything not written exclusively for Windows.

So did I, that's why I selected it. Did my development on OSX and Linux and thought that deploying a static binary on Windows would be a breeze.

It wasn't, turned out to be a Class 4 hurricane :P

Looks like there is a path hardcoded in the build files causing problems. After some reflection on the msvc/README, renaming the project directory to libzmq (was: zeromq-4.2.2 from the release or libzmq-master from github zip download), and launching cmd.exe using the Developer Command Prompt for VS2015 link, libzmq/builds/msvc/build/build.bat successfully builds all configurations.
