PRB: Windows 95 DDK Won't Install After Installing Platform SDK
PSS ID Number: 169581
Article Last Modified on 8/14/1999
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Win32 Device Driver Kit (DDK) Windows 95
This article was previously published under Q169581
SYMPTOMS
The Platform SDK contains components that have been distributed separately
in the Win32 SDK, the BackOffice SDK, and the ActiveX/Internet Client SDK,
as well as preliminary documentation for newer technologies. The Platform
SDK integrates these components into functional groups within one SDK
providing one source of information for all application programming
interfaces (APIs).
However, after installing the Platform SDK from the Microsoft Developer
Network (MSDN), the Windows 95 DDK may not install.
CAUSE
Installing the Platform SDK by itself will not allow installation of the
Windows 95 DDK.
RESOLUTION
The Windows 95 DDK requires prior installation of the Win32 SDK; the
Platform SDK will not suffice. The Win32 SDK is provided on a separate
CD-ROM from the Platform SDK.
