*: Install all the packages listed above to their default destinations, as some of our scripts are reliant on these locations. We do take great efforts to avoid hard-coded paths; however, some things cannot be fully auto-detected at present (sorry, but that is the state-of-the-art right now).
 *: The order in which you install them is also important; for instance, a *Visual Studio Service Pack* should be installed _after_ *Visual Studio* is installed.  Also, for proper integration, the *Platform SDKs* should be installed _after_ *Visual Studio* has completed its installation, so that it will integrate gracefully with the software.
-*: Finally, it is important to run *Visual Studio* once before installing the *Platform SDKs*, so that they will integrate with the studio properly.
