SYMPTOMS
The Microsoft Windows Multimedia Software Development Kit (SDK) does not install properly under Windows NT, yielding the following:

Please exit Windows & run setup from the DOS prompt to install...



CAUSE
The Windows Multimedia SDK was designed for Windows version 3.0. You cannot load it under Windows NT.



RESOLUTION
Do not use the Windows Multimedia SDK on Windows NT. There is no practical reason to use it, because the application programming interfaces (APIs) have been documented and included as part of Windows version 3.1 and Windows for Workgroups.
