Hmm... the latest SDK is versioned 6.1? That's too bad.

I remember that prerelease versions of the Windows SDK for Vista were initially labeled as "v1.0" (installed in a v1.0 folder), but after several people (such as myself) pointed out that Vista is Windows 6.0, the SDK was wisely changed to be labeled as v6.0.

I then saw some mentions of a "v6.0A" floating around and thought that this was the labeling for the VistaSP1/Server2008 SDK, since those OSes are Windows 6.0 SP1. Unfortunately, I've found out (as this article confirms) that 6.0A is really some VS-specific SDK, and that the VistaSP1/Server2008 SDK was released as v6.1.

It's unfortunate since after taking a specific step to align the version numbers, you're off already. Especially since it's looking like Windows "7" is actually version 6.1; what will the SDK for that OS be versioned?

Thanks for posting this. I used the configuration tool to set the SDK version to v6.1. I verified that the PATH environment variable in VS 2008 cmd window as well as HKLM\SW\MS\MSSDK\Windows points to v6.1. However, when I try to build an application, I still see that it is picking up the include directory from v6.0A. I added /showIncludes compiler flag and it shows that the header files are being picked up from v6.0A and not v6.1, which is what I want. Can you please help?

Ok I think I found the fix. I think, the sdk configuration tool modifies the HKLM value. But for some reason if the corresponding HKCU value was set, the VS2008 picks that value up and before reading the HKLM value. VS command line correctly looks at the HKLM value (I guess it reads from vcvars32.bat).

I just modified HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\CurrentInstallFolder to point to v6.1 install folder and VS picked it up.

JDalal, I've sent you an email with a few questions. We're researching this issue and trying to repro it now. There is a known issue with the SDK Configuration Tool with XP, with a workaround posted here: http://blogs.msdn.com/windowssdk/archive/2008/03/07/workaround-sdk-build-env-fails-on-x86-xp-with-vs2005.aspx
