title: Switching VS2010 to use Windows 7.1 SDK
body: <p>I've used VS2008 on my development machine for some years now, with windows SDK v7.1.</p>
  
  <p>I've installed VS2010, and it's using the Windows SDK v7.0a, but I need it to use the Windows 7.1 SDK (which I had installed prior to installing VS2010).</p>
  
  <p>When I run the Windows SDK 7.1 configuration tool, to switch the Windows SDK in use, the tool updates for VS2008, but not for VS2010.  The message it reports is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"The Windows SDK Configuration Tool has successfully set Windows SDK version v7.1 as the current version for Visual Studio 2008"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The configuration tool is installed with the Windows 7.1 SDK and is found here:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Setup\WindowsSdkVer.exe"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>VS2010 continues to use WSDK 7.0a, which extremely frustrating, as I need to do DirectShow development (so I need to build the baseclasses, which aren't released with 7.0a release of WSDK).</p>
  
  <p>Would I be correct in assuming that it's not updating VS2010 settings because VS2010 wasn't installed at the time that I installed Windows 7.1 SDK?</p>
  
  <p>Can I fix this manually, or should I uninstall Windows 7.1 SDK, then reinstall it?</p>
  
  <p>Any other suggestions / workarounds for this?</p>
