Complier and SDK

I'm planning an installation of Information Server 8.7 on Windows Server 2008 (64-bit).

Has anyone done this yet and, if so, which version of the Microsoft Windows SDK did you use? This one (for example) has three different ISOs to download, but none of them appears to relate to 64-bit operating system.

On a side issue, which version of the compiler do you prefer?

Since DataStage requires .Net 4, I would use this Windows SDK (Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4)

I would also suggest to install Visual Studio 2010 followed by the Windows SDK (link above).

Don't forget to add the INCLUDE and LIB environment variables.
These variables should point to the Windows SDK path.

Hey Ray:
Wondering if you got a solution for the above; and if you could share your findings. Thanks.

We installed:
  • .NET Framework 4.0 sp1 (64-bit version) plus Knowledge Base components KB2468871 and KB2478663 and KB2518870

    .NET Framework 3.5.1 because it is required by the Platform SDK

    SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 3.5 sp1 selecting Developer Tools as an installation option (compiler)

    Microsoft XML Core Services (MSXML) 4.0 sp2
