    <p>Microsoft now has a knowledge base article called <em><a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2717426" rel="noreferrer">Windows SDK Fails to Install with Return Code 5100</a></em> that describes this problem and its fix:</p> <blockquote> <p>This issue occurs when you install the Windows 7 SDK on a computer that has a newer version of the Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable installed. The Windows 7 SDK installs version 10.0.30319 of the Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable. </p> </blockquote> <p>The error message is located in the log file, which can be opened through the <code>View Log</code> button in the installer. Otherwise, it can be found here: <code>%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Temp\</code> or <code>%temp%</code>. The log file is most likely called <code>SDKSetup_7.xxxxx.log</code>.</p> <p>Solution: Uninstall any existing Visual C++ 2010 redistributable.</p> <p>I just had this problem, and I looked at the solution at <em>Ctrl+F5</em>, <em><a href="http://ctrlf5.net/?p=184" rel="noreferrer">Fix Problem Installing Windows SDK for Windows 7</a></em>, but it didn't work. </p> <p>I googled around and found the page <em><a href="http://notepad.patheticcockroach.com/1666/installing-visual-c-2010-and-windows-sdk-for-windows-7-offline-installer-and-installation-troubleshooting/" rel="noreferrer">Installing Visual C++ 2010 and Windows SDK for Windows 7: offline installer and installation troubleshooting</a></em> and the advice there worked. Basically you could have one of several problems, and you have to look in the log file to see what's going on. In my log file I had: </p> <p><code>6:17:07 PM Saturday, October 01, 2011: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Setup\SFX\vcredist_x64.exe installation failed with return code 5100</code></p> <p>so as that above web page suggested, I uninstalled both copies of the Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package that I had (both x86 and x64), and then when I ran the Windows&nbsp;7 SDK installer again, it worked. </p> <p>Although you might have a different problem than me. Try the solutions at the <em>Ctrl+F5</em> and <code>patheticcockroach.com</code> websites that I linked.</p> <p>I hoped this helped!</p>
