I am trying to install SDK 7.1 on Windows 10. This seems to be a thorny task for many people, I have tried the following solutions:
- Answer #1 to "Cannot install Windows SDK 7.1 on Windows 10"
- Answer #2 to "Cannot install Windows SDK 7.1 on Windows 10"
- Why does the SDK 7.1 installation fail with an "Installation Failed" message on my Windows system?
In every case I get one of the following errors:
Error 1304. Error writing to file: Microsoft.Build.CPPTasks.Common.dll. Verify that you have access to that directory.
or
Error 1304. Error writing to file: mscorcfg.dll. Verify that you have access to that directory.
I am running the installer with admin privileges and I have verified that my .NET installation is working (using the .NET Setup Verification Tool).
I have also tried disabling all AV and Firewalls and even tried a clean boot but all of these steps led to the same error.
Edit:
I have also tried installing Visual Studio [2015, 2013, 2012] and they all fail with a Error writing to file: ****.dll error.
