Installing the SDK for VC++ 2005???

Expand Post »

Hello ladies and gents,

Ive downloaded the first four PSDK-FULL files and wanted to install these, but I don't know how exactly to do so.

I tried to use winzip and extract them, but keep getting an error that says, failed to launch file: C\Documents and Settings\Johan Berntzen\Local Settings\Temp\install\setup\PSDK-x86.msi

I don't understand what I'm doing wrong, I also downloaded the extract winzip and when extracting this, I get the Extract tool, but when I click on this, it comes up and goes down again, do I have to use this tool in a certain way?????

THe files that I downloaded can be found here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

Do I actually need to download them all, because there are 16 files, do I need them all???? I think it's really confusing because nothing is written that says what is needed for what :o

Re: Installing the SDK for VC++ 2005???

I am not sure if want all 16 Cabinet files. But if you want a customized installation, why not try this option?

Instructions

* To run the installation program over the Internet, choose to download the Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 SP1 Web Install. The installation program will install the components you select.

You have a PSDK-FULL.bat file that was extracted from the PSI-FULL.exe. Run it with a target directory to extract. It will call the Extract.EXE file.

Re: Installing the SDK for VC++ 2005???

Thanks for the additional info WolfPack, because of that, I read the instructions a bit better, turns out I only need to download the PSDK-x86 file, and this makes it possible for me to decide what I want to download and what not :o

Sorry for this, but, this is what you get when amateurs try something like this :mrgreen:
