Installation of Windows SDK failed on Windows 7 x64. «installation failed with return code 5100»

I try and install the SK and it fails for both the Web installer and the ISO>DVD route. Same error each time:

12:22:50 PM Wednesday, July 11, 2012: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Setup\SFX\vcredist_x64.exe installation failed with return code 5100

The following lines are less than helpful because they suggest going to a place I don’t have.

12:23:21 PM Wednesday, July 11, 2012: [SDKSetup:Error] Config_Products_Install: Installation of Product Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 (failed): Please refer to Samples\Setup\HTML\ConfigDetails.htm document for further information.

Any ideas what might be worng? The rest of the log file is too big for this message but I can send it to anyone who can help.

Дословный перевод сообщения, которое выдал Вам установщик, примерно такой: «Эта установка не совместима с данной версией Windows. Для обновления, нужен правильный установочный диск. Для получения дополнительных сведений проверьте системную информацию вашего компьютера. Чтобы установить новую копию Windows, перезагрузите компьютер с установочного диска (загрузки) и выберите команду Настройка (дополнительно).» Иными словами, установщик говорит Вам, что Windows XP нельзя обновить до Windows 7. Вам необходима новая установка Windows 7, а свои данные Вы можете перенести в новую систему с помощбю средства переноса данных Windows, предварительно скопировав их на внешний носитель.

Got «Windows 10 installation has failed.» when installing the official release.

I have tried to install Windows 10 Home on my laptop several times, and each time I got the message «Windows 10 installation has failed.» E very time the installation process gets to the final stage, it stops at 18% with the error message.

The installation DVD was created with MediaCreationToolx64 downloaded on July 29 from Microsoft official Windows web site. It should be the official release of Windows 10.

Some web sites suggest the message is due to an incompatible license. However, my laptop’s Windows 7 Home Premium license is a retail upgrade from Windows XP OEM, and I am trying to upgrade it to Windows 10 Home. According to information on Frequently Asked Questions: Windows 10, it’s a legitimate upgrade path.

The «Get Windows 10» app shows the laptop passed the check and display «You’re good to go.» message.

Anyone has the same installation problem? Any solution?

BT\Sources\Panther\setuperr.log, I noticed a line

2015-07-30 11:28:50, Error SP SPCopyFilesAndFolders: Failed to copy file G:\x64\Sources\Install.esd -> C:\$WINDOWS.

BT\Sources\Install.esd. hr = 0x80070005[gle=0x00000005]

It’s rather strange because that file was copied to the hard drive from the DVD during the process. Maybe it was timed out due to slow copying? Maybe using USB as the installation media instead of DVD will help?

I had the same issue with the same error message at 18%.

In my case installer apparently tried to overwrite/copy once again install files in C:\$WINDOWS.

BT after the wizard was over, but failed to do so.

Clearing «Read-only» and «System» attribute from all files in C:\$WINDOWS.

BT (while I was at last screen of the wizard — I mean I was about to click «Install») did the trick.

Apparently a bug in Windows 10 installer (why it tries to copy the files twice? even if it is needed, why installer does not clear «Read-only» and/or «system» attributes by itself? why error message is so meaningless?).

TL;DR at the end

I’ve discovered, that the difference between «broken» installation ISO image (the one with «Something happened» at 18% due to trying to copy the file twice) and «good» one is name of file sources/install. When it is named «install.esd», then it gets copied twice from installation media — first at «Preparation (%d%%)» stage (small window just after executing installer) and then after clicking «Install» at the end of upgrade wizard. Of course, if we’re installing from DVD, it fails, as «Install.esd» has «read-only» attribute.

If the file is named «install.wim» instead, then at that «Preparation (%d%%)» small window it is not being copied to c:\$Windows.

BT directory, (progress is much faster) and then, after finishing the upgrade wizard, rest of install is smooth.

If we take «broken» ISO image and just rename sources/install.esd to sources/install.wim, installer starts to behave as intended. Reverse is also true.

File is named install.esd (wrong) when we’re asking Media Creation Tool to prepare dual-architecture (x86 & x64) ISO file. When we ask it to create single-architecture file, then we will get correctly named «install.wim» (tried on x86 only so far). What’s interesting, «install.wim» is different than «installx86.esd», from which it is made — installx86.esd is some 6 megabytes larger. Logs suggests that this installx86.esd might be encrypted (?) though I didn’t investigated it further (for me both looked like the same format with a bit different content).

The culprit is most likely Media Creation Tool — some programmer might have forgotten to handle the case, when *.esd files are to be processed to x86/sources and x64/sources respectively.

I cannot confirm this assumption by creating yet again dual architecture ISO with freshly downloaded Media Creation Tool, as the fresh one now pops up some other error just after start (though at last with some error code instead of just infamous «Something happened»). Anyway, there were apparently changes to Media Creation Tool — the one, that I’ve downloaded on July, 30th, is some 2kb shorter; all files (including those compressed within) seems to be recompiled.
