Does anybody know where I can get the original Windows 95 Platform SDK (or Win32 SDK)? I need it for the Windows 95 DDK (driver development kit). Thanks!

    Isn't it included in the MSVC installation? Or DDK/WDK installation? – valdo May 14 '11 at 19:48
  • I have VC++ 6.0 installed, but the DDK setup doesn't detect it. Maybe if it is included in VC++, then do you know what I have to set as the 'InstallDir' in the registry (http://support.microsoft.com/?id=249286)? And no, it's not included in DDK. – Midas May 14 '11 at 19:53

    Just out of curiosity, why do you need to the Win95 DDK? Are you actually developing something for Win9x? Or just looking for a long lost piece of sample code? – selbie May 15 '11 at 00:15

Here's February 2003 Platform SDK which supports Windows 9x (though I don't know if it works with Windows 95 DDK):

WinworldPC has beta Win95 SDKs: https://winworldpc.com/product/windows-sdk-ddk/windows-95-ddk

There is also a "16-bit SDKs" package under "Tools and Resources" on the MSDN Subscriber downloads in case you have a subscription, but it does not seem to include the Windows 95 SDK.

I think MSDN subscriptions downloads area usually has stuff like this, though Windows 95 is pretty ancient; I'm not sure you're going to be able to find it easily.

Try googling "A8ACFA3DD1468C7281C4D2F152364585346E0C10". Don't know how "legal/legit" this is though. Use at your own risk.

  • http://www.nakido.com/A8ACFA3DD1468C7281C4D2F152364585346E0C10? I already have the DDK... – Midas May 14 '11 at 20:09

I've found a good link on installing the two (SDK and DDK) but I can't find the SDK anywhere. I looked at my old VB6 install, but it doesn't look like it's on that disk. I'll keep on looking. See this for installing the two, together: http://www.geoffchappell.com/viewer.htm?doc=notes/windows/archive/pdk.htm
