How to Install Windows Phone 8 SDK on Windows 7

I have all my workspace and everything set up on Windows 7 but I also want to develop Windows Phone 8 but as stated on Microsoft website that It can not be installed on Windows 7.

Do anybody knows how to install in on Windows 7. I have found a crack but I don't know how to run this. You can get this from here Please tell me if anybody knows how to install it. here is a link to WP 8 ISO file

Edit:

There could be several reasons to install WP 8 in Windows 7. Like I have purchased a Wndows 7 recently and I don't want to make shift to Windows 8 right now, because I don't feel comfortable with its UI. Its more for a tablet or touch screen PC.

I have set-up all my workspace and other projects on Windows 7, I don't want to waste my time in setting up on Windows 8, I don't even know that how they gona perform on Windows 8. So there are so many genuine reasons.

You can install it by first extracting all the files from the ISO and then overwriting those files with the files from the ZIP. Then you can run the batch file as administrator to do the installation. Most of the packages install on windows 7, but I haven't tested yet how well they work.
