JDK7u40: build issue with a french VS2010 Express

[Ludovic HOCHET]

Hello,
Coming back to this:
"But that does not work neither because when one download VS2010 Express
from a French territory, one gets the French version EVEN if the English
version was explicitly requested (I made it twice, thinking I missed to
select the English version)."
Sadly I see the same.
I got hold of the proper link if that can help:
