MORE INFORMATION
When you finish the installation of the Microsoft Active Accessibility Software Development Kit (SDK) software, you can choose to install Microsoft Active Accessibility Redistribution Kit (RDK).
The RDK enables Microsoft Active Accessibility to work with computers running Microsoft Windows 95, Microsoft Windows 98, or Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4 or later. You must install the RDK on these operating systems because none of these operating systems include the system files that implement Microsoft Active Accessibility.
After you install the SDK and RDK, you can use Accessible Event Watcher by clicking Start, pointing to Programs, and then clicking Microsoft Active Accessibility SDK.
