Microsoft Windows SDK - Obtaining The SDK

Obtaining The SDK

Windows SDKs are available free on the Microsoft Download Center, in ISO and Web-download formats. Users can install the entire SDK or choose to install only some SDK components, such as code samples demonstrating only native development or only the tools for managed development. Some Windows SDK components are also included in Microsoft Visual Studio. The latest Windows SDK is the Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4, released May 21, 2010. This SDK release supports Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows XP SP3, and Windows Server 2003 R2 and is compatible with Visual Studio 2010, Visual Studio 2008, and Visual Studio 2005 SP1, including Visual Studio Express Editions.

Famous quotes containing the word obtaining:

    And if the civilized man’s pursuits are no worthier than the savage’s, if he is employed the greater part of his life in obtaining gross necessaries and comforts merely, why should he have a better dwelling than the former?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
