I was wondering if its possible to have multiple XDKs installed at the same time so I can go between Visual Studio 2005, 2008, and 2010 without having to uninstall then re-install the XDK for each time I wanted to switch between versions? The reason I want to do this is because I am wanting to look at source codes from different projects that have been made at different times on different versions of Visual Studio. I am proficient at C++ and am wanting to learn how to make homebrew projects to run personally on my Jtag to gain a better knowledge of coding for the Xbox 360. I enjoy looking at other peoples code to see how they did certain things and why to help myself understand the basic inner workings of the Xbox code. I have looked through the Xbox XDK library and have found tons of useful information but having to switch back and forth all the time is a pain and the Visual Studio converter to new versions always tends to break the programs. Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
You mean multiple SDKs. AFAIK, a new install will replace files from the old, but you can just make a couple virtualboxes (or sandboxes) and install them in there. Most of the SDKs are pretty much the same thing, just the fonts.
Here is an older link to the FreeStyleDash 2.1 source. It shows a lot of great examples. https://code.google.com/p/freestyledash/ You could also look at the DashLaunch 2.11 source, it will show more system related things. Like how to apply hooks and control system flow.
Yeah I have multiple Visual Studios with XDK installed, I just have them on different hard drives to help handle them better. Works fantastic.
Sweet thanks for the info. I dont have multiple hard drives to work with but one way I found to make it work was to take the xbox project templates for 2010 and copy them into the 2005 and 2008 editions.
