Installing the MS Platform SDK
Author
hi,
i have downloaded the Microsoft Platform SDK (approx. 250 MB, when installed over 500 MB).
there is a problem: the installer installed the complete directory in a seperate directory, not placed the files correctly in my MSVC++ 6.0 directory. now i have to move the files manually, which is a lot of work since there are trillions of directorys...
is there another way to do it?
thanks

Typically you leave the Platform SDK in a seperate place and add additional entries to the include and lib settings.
Tools->Options->Directories on VC6
And make sure the entries for the platform SDK are above the defaults ones.

This might be a dumb question but I thought the the documentation was supposed to open when you press F1 in msvc? Well for me, it doesnt...
VC++ opens the MSDN documentation that comes with it when you press F1. I am not aware of any way to have it open the Platform SDK documentation with F1.
_johan: You can change that, but it''s quite tedious and error-prone. I wish the PSDK installer would have an MSDN integration/replacement option.

Did you install the documentation?
On another note: You should really start your own topic when your question has nothing to do with the original posters question.
Edit: Ok, I assumed you meant that you didn't get any documentation at all when you pressed F1 (i.e. not even the MSVC docs), though I realise now that you were probably refering to the PSDK docs... in any case, just ignore me if my assumption was incorrect
