Re: [Flexradio] WARNING WARNING WARNING Platform SDK uprade on WindowsXP SP2
Alan, At TRW Automotive, where I recently retired from, they are still running Win2K on the production floor with no plans to change. The new office machines are running XP, but not production. 73, Ray, K9DUR ___ FlexRadio mailing list FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archive Link: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ FlexRadio Knowledge Base: http://kb.flex-radio.com/ FlexRadio Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/

He told me they've only just "upgraded" (if that is the appropriate term) from Win2K to WinXP. No way they're going to switch to Vista any time soon. 73 Alan NV8A ___ FlexRadio mailing list FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archive Link: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ FlexRadio Knowledge Base: http://kb.flex-radio.com/ FlexRadio Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/

When Platform SDK installs it has a big red X and asks are you really sure you want to change your environment variables. I MIGHT have been dumb and said, sure why not. I have uninstalled the Platform SDK Windows Server 2003 (R2) [this is supposed to cover Windows XP SP2 where the older platform SDK DID NOT as well as Vista]. It definitely broke the interop (link between languages in our case, between C and C#). I will uninstall MSVS Studio 2003 Enterprise-Architect provided to me by work and install it again and ALLOW IT to set the environment variables. Bob -- AMSAT Director and VP Engineering.

Bob, You might want to check your LIB and INCLUDE environment variables to see if they point to any sub-folders under the . It's been a while since I last installed the platform sdk but I seem to remember it lets you choose the folder and then you hook your development environment to it via the above mentioned items. Of course this sounds too simple to be all there is to it;) If this is how it's set up you may just be able to reinstall the older sdk and point to that folder hierarchy instead.
