I have two development machines -- one is Windows 7, the other is Windows Vista. Depending on where I am in my house is which machine I use.
I am writing a Windows Media Center 6 (which ships as part of Windows 7) application. I installed the WMC6 SDK on my Windows 7 machine with no issues. However, when I try and install it on my Vista machine, I am told the WMC6 SDK cannot be installed on Vista.
So my questions are:
- How can I develop a WMC6 app on Vista?
- If I use the Vista version of the SDK (WMC5.3 SDK) will I be able to edit / compile and test the same application from each machine.
I imagine the answer to the second question is "no" because the API changed between those two versions.
So can I only work on this application from my Windows 7 machine? That really sucks if it is true!
