Error in installing PSDK

Hi,

I have downloaded VC++ Express Edition but somehow I can't install PSDK. I have Windows XP and my MS was from the package Dell sent us so I believe it is genuine. I was wondering if uninstalling the whole thing (VC++ and SQL) would help. I have registered it when I downloaded and I just want to know if it will cause problems if I uninstall it.

Also, is there a full download of VC++ where MFC is included? I specifically need Microsoft VC++ 6.0 or higher, .NET recommended. How does the Express Edition compare?

Any info will be helpful.. Thanks..

You can get the PSDK installation at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=A55B6B43-E24F-4EA3-A93E-40C0EC4F68E5&displaylang=en

There is also a video to show the steps: Using Visual C++ Express Edition and the Platform SDK (6 Minutes - 8.5 MB)

This video will take you through the steps for downloading and installing the Platform SDK. It will also walk you through the changes you’ll need to make within Visual C++ Express to fully integrate the PSDK with Visual C++ Express edition. After following these steps, you will be able to build Win32 applications using Visual C++ Express. For the needed Visual C++ directories update, please follow step 3 at http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/usingpsdk.

"is there a full download of VC++ where MFC is included? "

-- No, visual studio express edition doesn't support MFC, you may get visual studio standard or above edition to do so.

Thanks
