To install SDK you have to go to control panel -> Add or Remove programs -> Primavera 5.0 and then click on Change/Remove.
After that a window appears, click on "Modify" then next, another window appears, in the Other Component select "Software Development Kit" and then click next and start the install.
Now you installed the SDK, you can link the database of the P5 with external sources like MS Excel using the micros avaliable with P5 CD.
and btw Point is a service avaliable from Primavera (like a tech support).

I may be appearing as a dumb but what do you mean by that : "If you have point then look up this answer: prim28371" ?
What I need basically is to install SDK and then ?
When you say "There is an excel macro that allows you to import and export data to and from P5. This can be quite useful." It is part of SDK or a separate Macro ?
Im sorry to ask you this but its not really clear

If you have point then look up this answer: prim28371
DSK should read SDK. Heres abit from this answer:
The SDK enables you to integrate the data in the Project Management database with external databases and applications. It provides access to the schema and stored procedures that include business logic. The SDK is not a program but allows you to access Project Management information through an interface such as ODBC or JDBC. The SDK installs a driver (Primavera Software Development Kit) similar to ODBC that can be used to access the Project Management information.
To install the SDK: Select Primavera Software Development Kit during installation. See Solution ID: prim28372 for more information.
Note: You will need Administrator rights to your computer when you install the SDK. The installation writes to the registry and requires admin rights.
There is an excel macro that allows you to import and export data to and from P5. This can be quite useful.
