    text
    copied!<p>Since yesterday I try to install Windows SDK 7.1 for dot.net Framework 4.0 on my windows 7 x64 machine. I get everytime the same Error during the installation.</p> <p>Error message: </p> <pre><code>"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" </code></pre> <p>Thats a pretty unhelpful error message, so I browsed the www about more information and did the suggested steps peoples recommend. I opened the View Log and get the same return error like others.</p> <pre><code>"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Setup\SFX\vcredist_x86.exe installation failed with the return code 5100" </code></pre> <p>I tried all that stuff that Microsoft, MSDN and others recommended but nothing works for me.</p> <p>Stuff i tried to resolve the problem:</p> <ul> <li>Deinstallation of the Document Explorer (recommended by msdn)</li> <li>Deinstallation of the lastest Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redist x64/x86 Versions (microsoft)</li> <li>Deinstallation of Microsoft Windows SDK Windows 7 (dot.net 3.5)</li> <li>Installation of Microsoft Windows SDK 8</li> </ul> <p>but like i said nothing helps :/ I get everytime the same Error message during the Installation.</p> <p>other facts about my system:</p> <ul> <li>I have a lot of several Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redist versions on my system</li> <li>Microsoft Visual C++ Compilers 2008 Standard Edition enu x64/x86</li> <li>Microsoft Windows SDK for Visual Studio 2008 </li> </ul> <p><em>Background info:</em></p> <p>I installed Jenkins as Service on my machine Windows 7 x64. We did a changeover from dot.net Framework 3.5 to dot.net Framework 4.0. But the problem was that sgen.exe sends an error: </p> <p><code>"SGEN : error : An attempt was made to load an assembly with an incorrect format.."</code> (to find in build log). Windows SDKs containing the sgen.exe in their bin folders like "C:\Program Files\Microsofft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\Bin". So I thought the SDK is out of date (v7.0a) and i tried to install the Windows SDK v7.1 for dot.net Framework 4.0. May installing the latest Visual Studio version on my system could help to resolve the problem, because it should simultaneously install Windows SDKs.</p> <p>But i wouldn't like to install Visual Studio on it to prevent wasting a license because nobody works on this computer.</p>
