Use the full download to copy the entire Windows Server 2003 Platform SDK to a secure computer, then selectively install individual
SDKs locally or to other computers.
- Click the links on the right. The File Download dialog box is displayed.
- Click each PSDK-FULL .cab file to save it. Save all .cab files to a temporary directory with at least
342 MB free space (for example, c:\psdktemp).
- Click BAT File for Extraction and save the batch file to the same directory.
- Go to the temporary directory using a command prompt. For example:
cd c:\psdktemp
- Run Psdk-full.bat to extract the full image from the .cab files. Specify an install directory
with at least 1.4 GB free space. For example:
c:\psdktemp> psdk-full c:\psdk
This can take several minutes to complete.
- Run Setup.exe to install the Platform SDK using the SDK Update interface.
Note: To ensure that you can upgrade later using SDK Update, do not run the Windows Installer files directly.
Also, due to embedded security in the installation control, you cannot host SDK Update on a Web server.
Troubleshooting Full DownloadsOn Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 6 with Internet Explorer 5, if you have previously
installed any single SDK component from the SDK Update site, then later attempt to install from a local, downloaded version
of the Platform SDK, SDK update indicates that you have already installed all current updates. To work around this problem,
upgrade to Internet Explorer 5.5, or use the SDK Update site.
