今天想用Matlab R2013a编译个mex程序，结果由于64位版不自带C++编译器，导致编译失败。由于平时不在这台电脑上写程序，故没有装VS，就想下个免费的Windows SDK 7.1装了了事，结果安装的时候碰到如下问题：

 

安装程序报错：

A problem occurred while installing selected Windows SDK components.

Installation of the "Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7" product has reported the following error: Please refer to Samples\Setup\HTML\ConfigDetails.htm document for further information.

 

Google之：

发现原因主要是由于Document Explorer安装不成功而导致的。按照第一个链接里边的解决方法做了一遍，结果一点用都没有……于是继续Google：

第二个链接里提到：

"Had a similar problem which turned out to be that the SDK 7.1 does NOT install if you have a newer vcredist_x86.exe than version 10.0.30319 of Visual C++ 2010 x86 Redistributable... I had 10.0.30419 installed... removed it through control panel "remove programs" and then the SDK 7.1 installed."

删除Visual C++ 2010 x86 Redistributable所有比10.0.30319新的安装包，再装Windows SDK，终于成功了。
