[vbox-dev] Windows build instructions

Thu Nov 22 04:39:25 PST 2007

I'm having Windows XP SP2 with Visual Studio 2005 and the latest Platform SDK 
(6000), Windows driver development kit ver 6001, but no other required stuff 
(mingw, xerces etc). When I run cscript configure.vbs, I get
error: Cannot find a suitable Platform SDK. The Platform SDK is installed 
at "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0" (default). What should I do 
to be able to build the virtualbox?
