Obtaining old SDK's and DDK's for the 1990's

I'm reverse engineering some 1990's software that the source has been lost and it was built with MSVC 4.2 (or a variant).

I'm looking for any SDK's of that era to help.

At present I need the header files etc. associated with MSAA, IAccessible (and the like) interfaces and DDK's for that era.

Can you help?

    You posted on a wrong forum (Windows App SDK is for WinUI 3)

    The Win32 API forum is https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/tags/224/windows-api-win32

    But in 90's, it was 16-bit

    You can find archives on sites like https://winworldpc.com/product/windows-sdk-ddk/windows-31

    (16-bit files (with _ in extension for example) can be opened with tools like 7-Zip)
