Summary:

The second screen displayed by the Windows Software Development Kit

(SDK) version 3.1 installation program includes the following

statement:

NOTE: The Windows SDK no longer provides C run-time libraries for

Windows development. These files are provided by the C compiler

vendor with their Windows development environment.

This statement is incorrect. The Windows SDK version 3.1 includes a

disk of run-time libraries and header files for use with the Microsoft

C Optimizing Compiler version 6.0. However, the SDK installation

program does not install these libraries and header files. The

libraries disk has its own installation batch file.

For more information on the C run-time libraries provided with the

Windows SDK version 3.1, see page 3 of the "Microsoft Windows Software

Development Kit: Getting Started" manual.

For more information on installing the Windows SDK version 3.1,

including an article that provides the recommended installation

procedure, query on the following words in the Microsoft Knowledge

Base:
