@mmitche do you know the exact build number here? In our case it may matter exactly which build it is. /cc @jackhorton

For context, I would like to try it out locally to see if we can use the ICU on the system or not. Additionally, I would be interested in knowing which Windows SDK it will have (the RS2 SDK has one set of header files for ICU, while the RS3+ SDK has a different header. I believe the DLLs are compatible, but the headers weren't because they switched from wchar_t/uint16_t to char16_t). /cc @jefgen

Right, the DLLs should indeed be binary compatible, though the headers are different between RS2 and RS3+. In other words, if you use the RS2 headers and build on RS2, then your resulting binary should run on RS3. (cc: @Microsoft/target-dev )
