You should rarely need to install to Windows SDKs directly yourself - VS will do it for you.

Last year I had to put SDK 7.1 x64 in for some reason I can't remember about some utilities. I just noticed I now have these folders after a vanilla install of development products: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows v7.0A (14MB) v7.1A (166MB) v8.0 (5MB) v8.0A (14MB) v8.1 (25MB) v8.1A (20MB) C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits 8.0 (266MB) 8.1 (508MB) This is quite confusing. Which files in which kit are being used by who? Perhaps I shouldn't even worry about it. Greg K
