News and notes about the Windows SDK
A lingering setup bug, unfortunately

There's one nasty, pernicious bug that we thought we'd tracked down for the Feb CTP but which is rearing its evil head. It's a build failure that ends with:

12:51:19 PM Thursday, February 23, 2006: [SDKSetup:Error] Config_Products_Install: Windows SDK Setup (failed): Installation of the "Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit" product has reported the following error: Fatal error during installation.

It seems to have something to do with the external MSIs we're installing. I'll post more when we have more info on it.

# Installation Bug @ Friday, February 24, 2006 10:26 AM

Yes, unfortunately is still there. I just spent half a day downloading, unistalling, downloading again and still having the exact error you mentioned. Please, let us know what workaround we can use to have the SDK installed.
