Question

I’m having significant difficulty getting started with the Windows Live Connect SDK in a traditional Windows Form App.

I would like to know:

1. What SDK Package to install, and how to add a reference to my project?
2. A simple code sample, just the most basic example of how to authenticate.

From here I should be able to work out the rest, the online documentation is mainly for Windows 8 metro apps, or Windows phone.

Hopefully a more traditional wrapped assembly exists?

Thanks in advance.

After a bit of fishing and getting bad references I came across this page:

The SDK only works on Windows 8 or Windows Phone. It is possible to use the REST services directly through, but obviously this is a steeper learning curve.
