Windows SDK components in VC++ Express for VS2008

  • Artikel

VS2008 Beta 2 is available for download. Beta 2 previews major improvements in VC++ Express for VS2008, which Nikola Dudar discusses in his blog. With VC++ Express 2008 Beta 2, you no longer asked to download the 1 GB Windows SDK in order to build Windows applications that use Win32 APIs. VC++ Express installs a complete set of Windows headers and libraries from Windows Vista SDK. These are installed by default during the second step, after installation of .Net Framework 3.5. This Windows SDK component is the same set of headers and libraries that all other versions of Visual Studio install. In addition, VC++ IDE has all standard wizards for creating Windows applications, DLLs and static libraries. The download size of VC++ Express for 2008 was kept small, actually even smaller that size of VC++ Express for VS2005. How did we do it? The Windows SDK is included in place of documentation and samples, which are now part of separate package.
