Orca is part of the Windows SDK. We recommend you to download only Orca (1.8 MB) from our web site. Or you can download and install the entire Windows SDK for Windows Server and .NET Framework 3.5 iso (1.3 GB, too big!) from Microsoft. If you download the SDK, you only need to install the Win32 Developer Tools part of it. Within C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\...\Bin, find Orca.msi and install it.
