Windows 7 SDK RC & Beta version

Question

Dear All,

I've download Windows 7 SDK which was downloaded at the time of the beta release. Now I upgraded to RC and trying with some Direct2D samples. But I can't create the factory pointer using D2D1CreateFactory API. It's always returns NULL. Even the samples downloaded from MSDN is also not working well.

There are some changes from Beta - RC

Is this because of the version mismatch of SDK?

Answer 1

Well, I for one wouldn't use an old Windows SDK Beta. I recommend you to uninstall the beta and install a SDK that is for the OS you are running. In this case, the Windows 7 SDK RC.
