title: Windows 7 SDK installation failure
body: <p>I seem to be completely unable to install the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Windows_SDK" rel="noreferrer">Windows 7 SDK</a> 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.</p>
  <p>This is the reported error:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>A problem occurred while installing selected Windows SDK components.</p>
  <p>Installation of the &quot;Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7&quot; product has reported the following error: Please refer to Samples\Setup\HTML\ConfigDetails.htm document for further information.</p>
  <p>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 <a href="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=130245" rel="noreferrer">http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=130245</a>.</p>
  <p>Click the View Log button to review the installation log.</p>
  <p>To exit, click Finish.</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>There is no <code>Samples</code> directory to refer too, and the SDK support team don't appear to live there any longer.</p>
  <p>How do I fix this problem?</p>
