IVF 9.1.025 Installation Guide Error?

The installation Guide reads:

Software Requirements to Develop Itanium-based Applications

• Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows Server 2003
• One of the following Microsoft development products must be installed:
  • For development on IA-32 or Intel EM64T systems, Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, Team System edition or above, with Visual C++ and "Itanium Compiler and Tools" components installed.
  • Microsoft Windows Server 2003 SP1 Platform SDK. Download and run PSDK-ia64.exe to begin the PSDK installation. Only the "Core SDK" is required. Windows Server 2003 R2 Platform SDK has not yet been tested for compatibility.
• Use of command-line tools for building is supported only if one of the above required Microsoft development products is installed.

One needs to download the PSDK for the system on which one is developing, NOT the system for which one is developing For.

That is, in my case, Windows XP x64 on EM64T with MSVS 2005 Pro, if I want to develop apps For IA64, then I have to download and install the PSDK for EM64T, not the PSDK for IA64 (the PSDK for IA64 will not install on an EM64T machine).

Thanks - this aspect of it had not occurred to me. You are correct and I will fix the text.

Steve,

I'm abusing the thread here, but how come I'm listed as a practically new member with only a few posts? I've noticed quite a few of the longer term members are still listed correctly, even after the update to this forum site.

Thanks,

Brian

Sorry, I don't know. Do you possibly have a second account under your e-mail address?
