Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit Microsoft SDK version release history Name Some older PSDK versions can still be downloaded from the Microsoft Download center others can be ordered on CD/DVD.
For example, the Windows Server 2003 Platform SDK released in February 2003 was the last SDK to provide full support of Visual Studio 6.0.
Windows SDKs are available for free they were once available on Microsoft Download Center but were moved to MSDN in 2012.Ī developer might want to use an older SDK for a particular reason. NET Framework content, or showing content for a specific language or technology. Information shown can be filtered by content, such as showing only new Windows Vista content, only. It integrates with Visual Studio, so that multiple copies of the components that both have are not installed however, there are compatibility caveats if either of the two is not from the same era. Windows SDK allows the user to specify the components to be installed and where to install them. (Windows Media Center SDK for Windows Vista ships separately.) DirectX SDK was merged into Windows SDK with the release of Windows 8. NET Framework 1.1 does not ship with Windows Vista. NET Framework 1.1 SDK is not included since the.
NET Framework SDK, Tablet PC SDK and Windows Media SDK are replaced by a new unified kit called Windows SDK.
Starting with Windows Vista, the Platform SDK.
Platform SDK contains compilers, tools, documentations, header files, libraries and samples needed for software development on IA-32, 圆4 and IA-64 CPU architectures.NET Framework SDK however, came to being with. It was released in 1999 and is the oldest SDK. Would I call an Aero UI as the most innovative feature of the Windows 7? No and that is why on that notebook I disabled it and switched UI to 'Standard Windows XP'.Ī couple of days ago I read an article and there was a statement: ".Microsoft is in a death spiral.".Platform SDK is the successor of the original Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 3.1x and Microsoft Win32 SDK for Windows 9x. But, as a C++ developer I do almost the same things: design, implementation, debugging, testing, etc. Now, in 2012 I have a new notebook with 16GB (!) of memory and a heavy Windows 7. In 1995 I had a computer with 16MB of memory (!) and a very light and impressive ( almost perfect! ) Windows 95. Look, security bugs in Windows XP are not fixed completely for more than 10 years and won't be fixed ever. Microsoft can't handle any longer over-complexity of Windows OSs and some software and constant flow of inconsistencies in Win32 API of different Windows OSs. It is not related to the subject of the thread but my point of view is as follows: Shipping the Windows 7 headers is a huge kludge to avoid doing the job properly. The SDK headers are already full of #ifdef's to selectively expose API's based on target OS version. If some damn fool broke the SDK headers in Windows 8, (1) said fool should be fired (which will make Mini-MSFT happy), and (2) the headers should be fixed. There's no excuse for introducing a new toolset to handle XP. Here is a very impressive comment from a reader of that blog: >Here is a link describing what is needed to support XP with Visual Studio 2012:
