Installation SDK 7.1

Question

I want to ask about an error I faced durring the installation of SDK 7.1 compiler in order to compile .c files under matlab, knowing that I've downloaded SDK ISO and .exe but without use, from this link http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8279 I'm using Matlab 2013b,Windows7 64 bit I got this error every time

Setup could not find the file WinSDK_amd64\WinSDK_amd64.msi at any of the specified source locations G:\Setup

Answer 1

I have an Intel i7, Win 7 64 bit and I was able to resolve this by downloading the Windows SDK 7.1 (iso image) from this link.

http://download.microsoft.com/download/F/1/0/F10113F5-B750-4969-A255-274341AC6BCE/GRMSDKX_EN_DVD.iso

I had tried several downloads and this was the only one that actually contained the ../setup/WinSDK_amd64\WinSDK_amd64.msi file that the error message references.

Previous to finding this download I had tried removing every single instance of the C++ redistributable for each version of Visual studio I had installed. This alone did not work, because the other Win 7 SDK downloads I tried did not contain the ../setup/WinSDK_amd64\WinSDK_amd64.msi file that the error message references.

You can find it using Visual Studio 2019 installer under the name "C++ Windows XP Support for VS 2017 (v141) tools [Deprecated]".
