Summary:
The installation program for the Windows Software Development Kit
(SDK) version 3.1 does not provide an option to copy individual SDK
components from the distribution disks. Each time the SDK installation
program is run, it calculates the amount of disk space required to
install the required components and any requested optional components.
Because the installation does not proceed unless the calculated amount
of disk space is free, it may be necessary to remove the existing SDK
installation before using the installation program.
However, the EXPAND utility can be used to copy individual files from
the installation disks to the hard drive. It is necessary to use the
EXPAND utility because the files on the SDK distribution floppy disks
are in a compressed format. The EXPAND utility is provided with
Windows 3.1.
The Windows SDK 3.1 is also distributed on CD-ROM (compact disk read-
only memory). Because files on the CD-ROM are not compressed, any
MS-DOS file copy utility can copy these files to the hard disk.
