   Direct2D
  Hello,I want to try Direct2D and according to the API overview homepage ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd317121(VS.85).aspx ) you need the windows 7 SDK in order to get the required files (d2d1.h and d2d1.lib etc):Quote:To compile a Direct2D application, add d2d1.lib to the list of libraries. You can find d2d1.h and d2d1.lib in Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows 7.I just installed the newest DX SDK (february 2010) on my windows 7 machine and just out of curiosity I searched my harddrive for these two files and I have both files (for example d2d1.lib is located at D:\Microsoft DirectX SDK (February 2010)\Lib\x64) - even though I never installed the windows 7 sdk.So are all files required for Direct2D programming already included in the DX SDK? Do I additionally need to install the windows 7 SDK?   
  You'll also need the headers, debug layer, and dll's to go with it.  I don't think that all of those are in the February SDK since a few weeks back someone was asking the same question.  I'd check myself but I don't have the February SDK installed right now.
