Windows SDK is only needed with free/Express versions of Visual Studio. I can't tell you the exact versions, but a quick test is if you can compile a Windows API hello world of an Open GL hello world (with normal C++, not managed).

But 2008 and 2010 should be fine if they are commercial versions.

Unless you did a weird custom installation of VS, I think you already have everything what C++ needs of Win API.

Anyway, don't worry simply to install upp, run TheIDE, and see if it can auto-config the MSCC build method. If yes, you are done. If not, you can install missing parts of win SDK afterwards until u++ is satisfied (first search your HDD, if the autoconfig didn't miss some files buried deep on the disk).
