direct x development on NT

[Orion Mazzor]

Need to know if I can install the direct x 5.0/5.2 sdk on nt 4.0. I know that NT only supports up to direct x 3, but if I only (what's that process where you have to request a higher version while initing or something?) use direct x 3 stuff, will it work?

Thanks,
Orion
