GetInstalledSDKLocations Class
Gathers the list of installed SDKS in the registry and on disk and outputs them into the project so they can be used during SDK reference resolution and RAR for single files.
GetInstalledSDKLocations doesn't recognize a version folder if “v” appears in its name. For example, an SDK that's located at C:\Windows\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\8.0\SDKFolders\3rdPartySDK\2.5\will be located correctly. However, the same SDK located atC:\Windows\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\8.0\SDKFolders\3rdPartySDK\v2.5\won't be located and will be ignored. If an SDK is ignored, the failure won't be recorded in the log, and no error will be thrown.
Version folder names need to be formed as major.minor[.build[.revision]]. For more information, see TryParse.
To find an SDK with a particular version, the version sought must match the version requested. For example, if the SDK has a folder version name 8.0.0 and the customer requested the SDK with version 8.0, there is no match, and the SDK won't be found.
For more information on version matching, see CompareTo.

.gif?cs-save-lang=1&cs-lang=fsharp "Public method") | Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Execute | Get the SDKs. (Overrides Task.Execute().) |
.gif?cs-save-lang=1&cs-lang=fsharp "Protected method") | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
