Installing .net 2.0 SDK on Windows 8

Question

Has anybody been successful in installing the .NET 2.0 SDK (x86 or x64) on Windows 8 x64?

I have previously installed it without problem on all previous versions of Windows (I last installed both the x86 and x64 versions on Windows 7 x64 a couple of months ago) but I cannot get it to install on Windows 8 x64.

I know it is old now, but it is the only way that I know of to get the .NET Framework configuration add-ins installed and, though I know that CASPOL does the same I still prefer to be able to see the graphical representation when trying to work out custom assembly permissions and it is still very useful for generating assembly permission installers.

I also managed to do it, but by using WinRAR to extract the files from the original setup.exe file I downloaded. When I ran "install.exe" from the extracted files, I was able to install the SDK normally.
