Quick Question -- WinAPI

[Steve Nelson]

I had asked about WinAPI but then I found the answer. Apologies for any inconvenience.

[Mel Bishop]

Why not ask anyway. Somebody else might have the same question.

[Michael Mattias]

Amen.

Also... when people do leave their questions up long enough to receive some suggestions, I think it would be nice if the original "asker" would take the time to post the results... or at least report "which suggestion was used to solve the problem."

(We don't normally have the problem of not reporting "none of the above worked.")

You agree with me, MM???? Satan must be breaking out the parkas. :laugh::laugh::laugh:

[Michael Mattias]

In Real Life I'm actually a fairly normal guy.

In Real Life I'm actually a fairly normal guy.

I'd think about that Michael, for me after trying to solve the odd clients problem and write a little code then repair the havoc my 17 month old son has done to one of my computers etc I doubt I could find time for 1000 posts let alone 19,000
We also actually agreed on a subject and as I live in the tropics is going to be very hard to find the parka

The Solution for Myself Was

My question was where to find the Windows API download, the one that runs from a command line like this one:

"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Help\dexplore.exe" /helpcol ms-help://MS.PSDK.1033

But then I found the previously downloaded cab files in a remote corner of my hard drive. Not sure if I ever really did find the correct MS download location---but it was the middle of the night and with bleary eyes I was thinking SDK and API were separate downloads; I believe they are actually the same download.
