Les Girondins Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 thanks for the quick replys. Currently downloading this right now so hopefully it works. in case you are wondering why you can't just use the runtime instead of having to download the entire SDK, its a microsoft licensing/redistribution clash. not SI's express desire to make your life a misery.
