I'm developing on Windows 10 64-bit and I need to add the references to DirectShow. I know it's not included anymore in Windows 10 SDK but it's still available in Windows 7 SDK. Well, I have a second machine with Windows 7 64-bit, with .NET Frameworks 1.1, 4, 4.5, 4.5.1, 4.5.2, 4.6, 4.6.1 installed, as the program manager says.
I downloaded the SDK for x64 here:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/F/1/0/F10113F5-B750-4969-A255-274341AC6BCE/GRMSDKX_EN_DVD.iso
Launching the Setup.exe leads to the following warning:
but that (non-clickable) link just redirects to the Microsoft homepage.
I already have the Framework 4 installer - not RTM though.
I then tried to search for RTM Framework 4 and I downloaded this file:
https://www.microsoft.com/it-it/download/details.aspx?id=36359
but it doesn't install with the following motivation:
Installazione guidata dell'aggiornamento software KB2750147 non è applicabile oppure è bloccato da un'altra condizione sul computer.
That means the installation is not applicable or it is blocked from another condition on the machine.
Well, then I tried to go ahead with the installation of the Windows 7 SDK, confirming the default options. It ends immediately and the log reports a lot of similar errors:

All this stuff only to get the library and include files for DirectShow!
Is this the only way to develop for that platform today?
