I seem to be completely unable to install the Windows 7 SDK onto my machine, and the only solution I’ve found on the web is to make a swathe of registry changes. I’ve done this – still no success.
This is the reported error:
A problem occurred while installing selected Windows SDK components.
Installation of the “Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7” product has reported the following error: Please refer to Samples\Setup\HTML\ConfigDetails.htm document for further information.
Please attempt to resolve the problem and then start Windows SDK setup again. If you continue to have problems with this issue, please visit the SDK team support page at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=130245.
Click the View Log button to review the installation log.
To exit, click Finish.
There is no Samples directory to refer too, and the SDK support team don’t appear to live there any longer.
How do I fix this problem?
