Installation Instructions for WDKdocs
1. | Click the WDKdocs_monthdayyear.exe file. |
2. | When prompted, click Run to start the installation, or Save to save the .exe file on your computer. |
3. | If you click Run, proceed with the installation and if the Microsoft Document Explorer 2005 Setup Wizard appears, click Next. Note: If you already have Document Explorer installed on your computer, you will not see this wizard. |
4. | Accept the license agreement for Document Explorer, and then click Install. |
5. | After you click Finish to complete the installation, you will see the Setup Wizard for the WDK documentation. Make note of the version number of this file. It will look like this: 6000.070629, where 6000 refers to the WDK for Windows Vista, 07 is the year, 06 is the month, and 29 is the day. Note: The version number will change every time that updated WDK documentation is posted to WHDC. Each installation will install independently of the previous one. You can install multiple versions on your computer. However, if you want to keep only the most recent version, you must uninstall previous versions. |
