DirectX Software Development Kit description
The complete DirectX SDK containing all DirectX software required to create DirectX compliant applications in C/C++ and C# Installation Notes for Windows Vista:
· Running Microsoft_DirectX_SDK.msi instead of setup.exe will require you to run it as administrator. If you install by using setup.exe instead of the MSI, you will be prompted for elevated permissions before the installation can succeed.

Installation Notes for All Platforms:
· This SDK installs on Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Vista using Visual Studio .NET 2003 or 2005.
· Before installing the current DirectX SDK, remove previous versions of the DirectX SDK.
· Some samples require that you install the latest Microsoft Windows SDK (Platform SDK) on your system.
· If you encounter compilation issues related to the DirectX headers, make sure that the include directories in Visual Studio are set correctly. On the Win32 platform, make sure that there is a reference to the DirectX headers. "$(DXSDK_DIR)include" should appear in the include directory "$(VCInstallDir)Include."
· SDK Installation to a network share is not supported. Some components (documentation and managed samples) do not run.
· Several virus protection software applications interfere with SDK installation. They may require you to disable virus protection software until SDK installation is completed.
· If you encounter the error message "A cabinet file is necessary for installation and cannot be trusted" during installation, your system may be corrupted, or cryptographic services may be disabled. To resolve the problem, try the following:
· Enable cryptographic services. On the Start menu, right-click My Computer, and then click Manage. The Computer Management window appears. In the left navigation pane, click Services and Applications. In the right pane, double click Services, and then double-click Cryptographic Services. The Cryptographic Services Properties property sheet appears. On the General tab, make sure that Service Status is Started, and that Startup Type is Automatic.
If you are running Windows on a FAT32 drive, run scandisk.
· Try the resolution steps in Detecting digital signing issues in Windows XP.
· Try the resolution steps in You cannot install some updates or programs.
· Remove temporary files in %temp%. If you are installing end-user runtime, also remove "%windir%system32directxwebsetup Error."
· External firewall programs may indicate that the file InstallDeveloperFiles.exe wants to access the Internet. This is by design, and should be enabled.

Requirements:

· Using Managed DirectX ( MDX ) requires both Visual Studio .NET and the .NET framework for development. To run MDX .NET applications, you must install the .NET Framework.

Open Office Software Development Kit is an add-on for OpenOffice suite.

It provides the necessary tools and documentation for programming the OpenOffice.org APIs and creating own extensions (UNO components) for OpenOffice.org.

The highlight of the SDK is the 900-page Developers Guide. This comprehensive guide provides a detailed description of the OpenOffice.org API concepts, the OpenOffice.org UNO component model and how to use the API in the context of the different application areas. At the close of each chapter, there is at least one example that demonstrates how to use a specific API.

Developers who are new to OpenOffice.org will also find the OpenOffice.org developer page useful.

Here are some key features of "Open Office Software Development Kit":

· 900-page Developers Guide (HTML + PDF version)
· XML file format specification
· IDL reference with cross references to the Developers Guide and vice versa
· C/C++ and Java UNO reference documentation
· development and deployment tools
· code samples for Java, C++, OpenOffice.org Basic and OLE
· easy-to-use build environment for the included samples

The FTP Voyager Software Development Kit (SDK) allows you to power your applications FTP capabilities with same engine used in the FTP Voyager client. The SDK exposes FTP Voyagers FTP capabilities through a thoroughly documented and easy to integrate DLL. This flexible interface gives you the ability to use the SDK in your existing applications with a minimal amount of effort. Virtually all functionality displayed by FTP Voyager is accessible to your application through the SDK. This includes on-the-fly data compression, secure file transfers using FTP over SSL, folder synchronization, file transfer integrity checking through XCRC, and detailed logging of its activities. The FTP Voyager SDKs modular design for handling file transfers allows you to use the SDK at a high level to transfer files through a few simple functions, or you can choose to work with the SDK at a lower level to receive data in chunks or even directory listings one at a time. FTP Voyager as an FTP client is known for its rock-solid stability, fast and secure file transfers, and simple, yet powerful interface. The FTP Voyager SDK allows you to bring all these advantages to your applications file transfers as well.
