Do we set it the same way as for Csound5?

OPCODEDIR=C:\csound5\lib
OPCODEDIR64=C:\csound5\lib64

- mdd

You have to set it to where you put your csound5 module dlls. These
are in the top-level of the package. If you unzip to
c:, you should have them in c:\csound5, unless you copy them elsewhere.

I think it should be enough to copy vst4cs.dll (assuming that you
need those opcodes) from the Lazzarini package to csound5\lib where
the 32-bit plugins of my release are, and then set OPCODEDIR and
OPCODEDIR64 so that my plugins are used, which should be compatible
but run slightly faster. Similarly, you should be fine running
csound.exe and csound32.exe from my distribution, as csound32.exe
is again expected to be faster than the MSVC build. What is really
useful in the MSVC package is csoundapi~.dll (for PD), cstclsh.exe,
cswish.exe and tclcsound.dll (for Tcl), the already mentioned vst4cs
opcodes, and csound.lib if you need a static Csound library for MSVC.

Well said, and that is the only reason for me distributing the package.
If you don't need these add-ons, you are better off with Istvan's build.
They are all from the same sources, it is just that the gcc binaries use
some special optmisations not available to MSVC.
