DOCERR: "SDK No Longer Provides C Run-time Libraries" Note

ID: Q84127

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) 3.1

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.
