Is it possible to install Windows SDK for Windows 7 on Windows 8?

I am trying to install Windoes SDK for Windows 7 and .NET framework 4 for MATLAB R2015b, on Windows 8. But I get the following error:

The windows installer is busy configuring another program

enter image description here

No other program is being installed at the same time though. What's the cause of this problem? Is it because it's not possible to install Windows SDK 7 on Window 8?

Here is the output log when the installation fails:

Can I install Windows 10 SDK on Windows 7?

You can use the Windows 10 SDK to write Windows desktop applications compatible with Windows 7 and up.

How do I choose Windows SDK version?

Open the shortcut menu for the project node, and choose Retarget projects. (In earlier versions of Visual Studio, choose Retarget SDK Version.) The Review Solution Actions dialog appears. In the Target Platform Version dropdown list, choose the version of the Windows SDK you want to target.

Do I need Windows SDK add on?

The Windows Software Development Kit contains headers, libraries and tools, which can be used to create Apps for Windows. It is not part of the Windows operating system itself and it is not needed to run Windows.

What is Windows SDK needed for?

Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) provides a set of features compilers, headers, libraries, code samples, and help systems that developers can use to create applications that run on Microsoft Windows. Users can use the Windows SDK to write applications for both Microsoft Windows and Microsoft .

1 Answers

Do you have access to a PC with windows 7, or a PC with the SDK already installed? If so, the easiest solution is to copy the C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1 folder from the Win 7 machine to the Win 8 machine.

Otherwise, as @Daniel commented, you have to uninstall quite a lot of stuff, install the SDK, and then re-install everything.
