HELP: older PlatformSDK releases VS. PlatformSDKServer2003

[KevinGPO]

I can't seem to find the link from the frontpage http://www.microsoft.com/
to get to http://www.microsoft.com/technet/

Because the newsgroups from the Communities section from www.microsoft.com
doesn't give you the option to load up the newsgroup in Outlook Express.
However the links from TechNet section does.

Anyway, I've got a problem. I am wondering whether it's possible to download
older versions of the Microsoft Platform SDK? I am looking for the
PlatformSDK 2003 Febuary release. I understand that the latest PlatformSDK
Server2003 is compatible with all previous Platform SDK versions, but it's
too big and I am not interested in Server2003 components just yet. I just
want a MS PlatformSDK enough to build for, let's say Windows 2000/XP
platform. And yes, I have searched through the MS downloads and still no
luck. Maybe someone has better luck than me?

Thanks.

You can get the February 2003 release here:

http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/psdk-full.htm

But it's going to be nearly as big as the one you are rejecting.

The good thing about it is that it is still compatible with Visual C++ 6.0
whereas the 2003 Server SP1 SDK is not.

Thanks Ted. Spottydog!

Btw, how did you find out that it was the last Platform SDK to be compatible
with Visual C++ 6.0?

It's strange how the URL looks like a plain general link to the Platform
SDK... though this one is not the latest... and the URL doesn't contain any
version/date numbers.
