I need to install the Windows SDK. The only version I can find to download is
the newest version at the following URL

http://windowssdk.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/default.aspx

It includes the .NET framework 3.0 + SDK. I have 3 questions:

Can I use it without any further steps from VS.NET 2005?

Do .NET Framework 2.0 programs run?

Do .NET Framework 3.0 based programs run on .NET FW 2.0?

Thanks, Chris

Hi,

As far as I understand, this SDK still has full support for .NET 2.0 *plus*
support for .NET 3.0 and Windows Vista RC1. So:

> Can I use it without any further steps from VS.NET 2005?

Not sure why would you need to, but I think yes.

> Do .NET Framework 2.0 programs run?

SDK is not a runtime. It's just help files, header files, tools etc. So
provided you have .NET Framework 2.0 installed, yes, 2.0 programs should run
just fine.

> Do .NET Framework 3.0 based programs run on .NET FW 2.0?

Nope. You have to have the 3.0 runtime components.

Dmytro, your answers are right on.  The SDK supports Windows Vista, .NET
Framework 2.0 and .NET Framework 3.0. You can target development to either
of those two versions of the Framework. Also note that the .NET Framework
3.0 will be pre-installed on Windows Vista.
