Windows Debugging Tools Not Installing

Question

I\'m trying to install the Windows Debugging Tools via the Windows SDK and after two attempts I am at a loss for what to do. I start the installation and receive no errors at al

Answer 1

After spending hours finding out none of the above works, and only seconds away from smashing my stupid machine to bits, I stumbled upon the solution in SO.

It basically says that for 64-bit Window 7, installing the "Standalone Debugging Tools for Windows 8.1" found here should work.

Unbelievably, it actually did :)

BTW, the target folder changed to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1"
