Win 7 SDK notes

I installed the x86 debugging and perf tools redist by running

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Redist\Debugging Tools for Windows\dbg_x86.msi
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Redist\Windows Performance Toolkit\wpt_x86.msi

I then set the active SDK version to 'v7.1' using the 'Windows SDK Configuration Tool'.
