Windows SDK Released for Beta 2
The Windows SDK (formerly Platform SDK) is now available in
an iteration that supports our Orcas
Beta 2 release of the .NET Framework as well as the latest release of
Windows Server 2008. Here are the direct
downloads to the pieces:
There are a few release notes that you should be
particularly aware of.
.Net Framework 3.5 is
not in the Windows SDK path
The .Net Framework 3.5 is not in the Windows SDK path. If
the .Net Framework 3.5 is installed on a machine, its components (e.g. MSBuild)
will not be found in the Windows SDK build environment by default. To workaround this issue, add the following
to your path.
On an X86 machine:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5
On an X64 or IA64 machine:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v3.5
Some .NET Framework
WCF samples do not build or run
The following Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) samples
do not build or run correctly in the SDK build environment or Visual Studio
2008:
-
TechnologySamples\Scenario\DataBinding\WPF (does
not build)
-
TechnologySamples\Scenario\RestPox (builds but
fails while running on Windows Vista)
-
TechnologySamples\Extensibility\Transport\UdpActivation
(builds but fails while running)
To workaround this issue:
TechnologySamples\Scenario\DataBinding\WPF
This issue affects only the C# version of the sample. To
resolve, remove the following string from client.csproj:
<UICulture>en-us</UICulture>
TechnologySamples\Scenario\RestPox
This issue affects both the C# and Visual Basic versions of
the sample when running on Windows Vista. The client runs correctly almost all
the way through the sample then fails near the end. To resolve the issue,
remove the forward slash from the following lines of code:
-
links.Add( new Uri( message.Properties.Via +
"/" + customerId ) ) in file CustomerService.cs
-
links.Add( New Uri(msg.Properties.Via.ToString()
& "/" & customerId ) ) in file CustomerService.vb
TechnologySamples\Extensibility\Transport\UdpActivation
No workaround is available at this time.
