    Surface SDK on Windows 7?

    Hi there,

    Do you have any any experience from installing the Surface SDK on Windows 7? When I try to I get an error saying that I don´t have the correct version of the Service Pack for Vista.

    Is there any workaround?

    Thanks

    Right now the one thing I can tell from the SDK requirements may be not being able to install on 64bit.  I'm pulling down the SDK and will give it a whirl in a little bit.  In the meantime you might have better luck on msdn.com and/or stackoverflow.com getting your question answered.

    OK, so it comes down to checking for Windows Vista.  I searched around and found this handy little .vbs script: http://www.msfn.org/board/Remove-Installer-OS-Check-t51694.html

    Altered the .msi to remove the checks and wah-la SDK installed.

    Of course this isn't any type of official way of doing things but it works for now.

    Let me know if you were able to actually get the Simulator etc running as it's not behaving so well on my install.

    So far I haven´t had any problems at all. The simulator is running and the samples as well.

     Did you install the XNA Redistributable?

    Just glad to know it worked before I went investing time in getting it all setup.

    Thanks,
