<BR><BR><FONT FACE="Arial, Times New Roman">
<b>Welcome to the Microsoft Windows&nbsp;2000 Release Candidate 2 (RC2) Release Edition of the
Microsoft Platform Software Development Kit (SDK).</b> </FONT>
<FONT FACE="Arial, Times New Roman">This release targets 
development for the Microsoft<sup>&reg;</sup> Windows&nbsp;NT<sup>&reg;</sup> version 4.0, Microsoft Windows<sup>&reg;</sup>&nbsp;2000 RC2, and
Microsoft Windows&nbsp;95 and Windows&nbsp;98 operating systems;
the Microsoft BackOffice<sup>&reg;</sup> version 2.5 family of products; and Microsoft Internet&nbsp;Explorer version
3.<i>x</i> and later.</p>

<p>The contents of this SDK will change as Windows&nbsp;2000 evolves. To get
the latest released version of the Platform SDK, subscribe to the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN<sup>&trade;</sup>) or
visit our Web site at <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/developer/sdk" target="_top">http://msdn.microsoft.com/developer/sdk</a>. An MSDN 
Professional subscription is the best way to receive current
Microsoft operating system betas, releases, and the Platform SDK CD-ROM.
</p>

<p>The key objectives of the Platform SDK are to
simplify installation of your development environment, introduce you
to the latest technologies, and provide information about
existing technologies. Visit the MSDN Web site at
<a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/developer" target="_top">http://msdn.microsoft.com/developer</a> for the
latest information on the Platform SDK and MSDN.

<BR>

<B><FONT FACE="Arial Narrow" SIZE=+2>System Requirements</FONT></B><BR>
<FONT FACE="Arial, Times New Roman">
<UL>
<LI>Microsoft<sup>&reg;</sup> Windows&nbsp;NT<sup>&reg;</sup> 4.0, Windows<sup>&reg;</sup>&nbsp;2000, or Windows&nbsp;98.
<LI>Microsoft Visual C++<sup>&reg;</sup> 5.0 or 6.0 for your <I>x</I>86 or Alpha platform.  Additionally, you should 
install the latest Visual C++ service pack that is available for the version you are using. 
<LI>A CD-ROM drive or access to a network share that contains the contents of the Platform SDK CD-ROM.
<LI>Approximately 920 MB hard-disk space is required for a full installation.   Significantly more space is needed when installing to a FAT partition. However, you may reduce disk space usage by choosing Custom 
Install and choosing only the components you need.  
<LI>Compiling the entire set of SDK samples requires approximately 1.2 GB of additional disk space.

<!-------------- SDK Install ----------- -->
<P><B><FONT FACE="Arial Narrow" SIZE=+2>SDK Installation</FONT></B>
<BR>The Microsoft Platform SDK setup program installs the SDK tools, headers, libraries, and sample files 
necessary for developing applications for the Windows environment.
<BR>

<P>To install the SDK on Windows 98, Windows&nbsp;NT 4.0, or Windows&nbsp;2000, perform the following steps:
<BR>
<OL>
<LI>Run <A NAME="NOW" href="setup.exe"><I><B>setup.exe</I></B></A> from the CD-ROM. (Note: if you started readme.htm from your SDK installation, this link to setup.exe will not work.  Please start setup.exe from the Platform SDK CD, or use Control Panel, Add/Remove programs to change your current installation.)
<LI>Click <B>Next</B> to install the Platform SDK.
<LI>Read and accept the End&nbsp;User License Agreement.
<LI>Enter your name and organization.
<LI>Choose <B>Typical</B> to install the most commonly used options, or <B>Custom</B> to be given a choice of components available for installation.
<LI>Choose the installation directory.
<LI>If Custom install was chosen, select the components you want to install.
<LI>Click <B>Next</B> to begin installation of the Platform SDK files.  
</OL>

<BR>
<!-------------- Troubleshooting the SDK Install ----------- -->
<P><B><FONT FACE="Arial Narrow" SIZE=+2>Troubleshooting the SDK Installation</FONT></B>
<BR>If the Microsoft Windows&nbsp;Installer update fails and setup cannot continue, please try the following steps:
<OL>
<LI>Restart your computer and then restart the SDK setup program.
<LI>If you received a 1603 error from InstMSI.exe and are running Windows&nbsp;2000 or Windows&nbsp;NT 4.0, try restarting
your system and logging on with an account that is a member of the local Administrators group.
<LI>Bypass the Microsoft Windows Installer update by double-clicking the appropriate .msi file for your platform
(setup\psdk-x86.msi or setup\psdk-Alpha.msi), both of which are found on the Platform SDK CD-ROM. This is not guaranteed to work, and
setup behavior will be unpredictable.
