Click the menu bar "Download" and select "Full download" Jeremy Davis http://www.astad.org

The full download seems to be the August version, not the December version. If you want the latest files, you will need to go through the web install. -- Paul "I drank... WHAT?"

the full download is a new build too, 5.1.2601.0 dunno why ms didn't included the final release for dx 8.1 sdk, it still in pre-release.

OK I am must be the worlds biggest idiot or the MS site is just plain daffy ! I got the installer site, via Tim's link, and selected what I wanted, and went to install, and Poof ! after 5 attempts I still have no SDK, no way of telling what parts of it I have, (although after the third attempt I did get a directory and some files...that was encouraging ), the MS site helpfully tells me I have nothing installed, and round and round we go. Has anyone gotten this version of the SDK installed successfully ? I went through this at home earlier this summer and had no problems. Oh well, it's just work ...

Like someone else said, just click on the downloads in the bar and select full download. That is how I normally do it. Tim Smith Descartes Systems Sciences, Inc.
