    I have Microsoft Visual Studio Team Suite Edition Beta installed at a whopping 2,297 MB. I also have Microsoft Platform SDK (3790.1830) and Microsoft Platform SDK (Windows XP SP2)(2600.2180) (937MB, 446MB) installed as well. Now I don't believe that VS2005 installed the platform SDK, but I am not sure. I would like to remove it, but I don't want to mess up the projects I am working on in Visual Studio. I also have Visual Studio 6.0 installed as well. Isn't the platform SDK built into Visual Studio? If I removed it and something broke, would it be as easy as reinstalling it to fix it? Kevin

      You could test breaking by renaming it and not deleting it until after testing all your software.

        VC7 came with a build of the PSDK, I wouldn't be surprices if VC8 did the same. But you have to be careful of which PSDK build you use with VC6, I think Feb 2003 is the last release that works with 6 - the LIBs in the later builds didn't work with 6. --Mike-- Visual C++ MVP :cool: LINKS~!
