If you encounter Windows Phone SDK 7.1 setup failures
If you run into an installation or uninstallation failure for the Windows Phone SDK 7.1, you can use the log collection tool to gather your setup log files. This log collection tool will create a file named %temp%\vslogs.cab.
Once you have gathered your setup log files, you can upload them to a file server of your choice (such as http://skydrive.live.com), and post a link to the log files in the forums to get additional support.
If you run into uninstallation issues with any release of the Windows Phone SDK or XNA Game Studio, you can use the cleanup tool described at http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/pages/9544320.aspx to remove the Windows Phone SDK or XNA Game Studio.

Hi,
I have huge problem with WP7 SDK(7.1) installation.
I just install Windows 7 Prof. SP1 and nothing else i try to install SDK for WP7 but it doesn't work.
Here is my error log: www.levik.pl/.../vslogs.cab
I try to install SDK from the web and I also download the *.iso file, but everytime i get the same error.
Precisely when Assemblies are being install.

I spend hours with this problem, waiting for your help!
Thanks,

Hi Peter - I found your post on the forums at forums.create.msdn.com/.../592221.aspx. I'm going to try to address this issue in the forum post because it is more likely that other people who run into similar issues will find the information by searching the forums as opposed to searching on my blog.
Hi Aaron,
I spent a lot of time trying to install the SDK from the ISO. It was failing due to a improper download - but it took me a while to figure this out. I think it would help a lot of people if you post the MD5 hashes of the ISO files if you have them on hand.
I am re-downloading the image now, and can post the MD5 hash myself, but there's a good chance the download might be corrupt, and it might lead someone who has a proper download to believe that his/her download is invalid.
Thanks
Hi Anirudh - I don't have the expected hash value, but I'll ask around and see if I can find someone who has it, and I'll post it if so.
Hi Arron and anirudh, I managed to install WPSDKv71_en1.iso with a MD5 checksum of 635b2f5e15829e8855d5529ee4b58dd6. Could eiter of you please verify this?
I would also like to second anirudh's suggestion in posting the checksums on your blog and on www.microsoft.com/.../details.aspx as well because they are really useful.
Thanks!
