I've attempted to install the "Windows SDK for Windows Vista and .NET Framework 3.0 Runtime Components" and continue to receive the following error "SDKSetup.exe has stopped working".
Is there a known work around for this error I'm running Windows Vista RTM.
Thanks,
Matt

Follow-up:
The setup log indicated that there was an error: "File failed to download - .." from download.microsoft.com/../~.
During the failed install attempts I was using a slow internet connection (my mobile phone). This must have been the culprit as when I connected using a standard internet connection (cable modem) the installation was successful.
Heads-up,
Matt

Hi Matt,
This is definitely the right forum for your question. Can you send me a copy of your log It should be at %temp%\sdksetup.log
Thanks!

As a follow-up: I've disabled the Windows Live OneCare (RTM) firewall and re-tried the installation. The same error occurs running the setup with elevated priveledges. Note: I've experience a similar error during installation on a Windows XP machine. Re-attempting on the XP machine to provide additional detail. If I find a different error I will update this thread.
As this is happening on two different machines (one Vista and one XP) my guess is that there are others experiencing the problem. Both machines were fully patched using Microsoft Update before beginning Setup.
Any help would be appreciated.
Matt
P.S. is this the best forum/newsgroup to post these questions
