[hpsdr] [Flexradio] WARNING WARNING WARNING Platform SDK uprade on WindowsXP SP2

[n3evl]

Bob,

You might want to check your LIB and INCLUDE environment variables to see if 
they point to any sub-folders under the <platform sdk install folder>.  It's 
been a while since I last installed the platform sdk but I seem to remember 
it lets you choose the folder and then you hook your development environment 
to it via the above mentioned items.  Of course this sounds too simple to be 
all there is to it;)  If this is how it's set up you may just be able to 
reinstall the older sdk and point to that folder hierarchy instead.

Pete, N3EVL
