In my experience with SDK 7.1 and installing the required C compiler for Matlab on Windows 10, you can install SDK 7.1 from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8279

However, it fails to detect .NET framework 4. As a result you cannot install the required C++ compilers. You can download these manually at the following link: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=4422

Now Matlab was able to set SDK 7.1 as C compiler. Hope it works for you as well.

This answer is not entirely correct.

Apparently, the issue originates from the fact that either VS2010 SP1 or some other development tools/redistributables install incompatible components which have to be removed before the SDK will properly install...

As long as these components are there, you cannot just install the SDK like you seem to suggest as the installer itself will fail.

Hi Cess Verdier, That perfectly worked for me. Thanks a lot. Cheers

If you install SDK 7.1 from this link:

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8279

and still have problems, such as typing into MATLAB

mex -setup

and then receiving the error:

No supported SDK or compiler was found on this computer. 
For a list of supported compilers, see  
<http://www.mathworks.com/support/compilers/R2012a/win64.html>

This means that you need to follow the instructions on this page:

https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/95039-why-does-the-sdk-7-1-installation-fail-with-an-installation-failed-message-on-my-windows-system

This worked for me with Windows 10 MATLAB 2015a.

This help solve my issue, Thanks!

[Favia Avilés]

It worked perfectly after searching in a lot of blogs. Thank you! <3

[Sylvia Gasibirege]

would this procedure work with 10 MATLAB 2013a ?

Did you take the time to ask your favorite internet search engine already? You will find many useful hints for the terms "install sdk 7.1 on windows 10". It would not be efficient, if I copy a list of links and I do not know, how many of them you have tried before.

Please try it and mention specifically, what have failed.

I am trying to install Windows SDK for Windows 7 with .NET Framework 4 but when I open the setup I receive an error:

Some Windows SDK components require the RTM .NET Framework 4. Setup detected a pre-release version of .NET Framework 4. If you continue with Setup, these components will not be installed. If you want to install these components, click Cancel, then install the .NET Framework 4 from https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=187668 and then rerun Setup.

Click OK to continue. When I went to install the .NET Framework 4 it appears a message saying that there is already the .NET Framework 4 on my PC:

The Microsoft .NET Framework 4 is already part of the operating system. No need to install the .NET Framework 4 redistributable. More information.

An equal or higher version of the .NET Framework 4 has already been installed on the computer. I don't know what to do anymore. I am using Windows 10 Pro (x64).

This is exactly the kind of smug comment that does not bring anything in terms of a solution.

I myself am quite well versed in programming using different languages, using different development environments and I too can attest that it is not trivial to get SDK 7.1 to run on a Windows 10 box, even when using Google... Ironically, Googleing Windows SDK7.1 on Windows 10 brings this discussion as one of the top hits, so go figure.

If you have nothing constructive to say, refrain from commenting or comment but also bring some constructive feedback to the table.

For example, you could have provided the Google hits that, in your view, were most likely to provide the required solution. We all know that not all Google hits are equally useful.

Regardless,

A working solution can be found here:

• in Another Mathworks forum post
• On StackOverflow

Check the dates on some of these posts, they are quite recent...

Kris, the link you posted appears to be incorrect. Did you intend to link to something under http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/95039-why-does-the-sdk-7-1-installation-fail-with-an-installation-failed-message-on-my-windows-system ?

[Jonathan]

The solution in that link you gave, Walter, seems to have worked for me.

Thanks to you and Kris for your help.

@Kris Janssen: I'm not perfect and I did not even plan to be so. Some of my answers are not useful and some are even wrong. Sometimes I'm tired, sometimes I'm not attentive enough or misunderstood the question. Sometimes I'm irritated, when I read the same question again and miss the required details. Fortunately in such cases other members of the community give better answers and this is the way we supplement each other.

Asif Mahmud's reply to my answer contained useful details, therefore I think it was not useless, and I agree that there are better answers.

I have seen no evidence yet that it is possible to install Windows SDK 7.1 on Windows 10. The people posting in the Question about installing MATLAB in Windows 10 have indicated that there is an incompatibility between the redistributables and Windows 10 and that Microsoft will need to resolve the problem.

As I commented previously, this issue is tackled in following online sources:

• StackOverflow
• The MathWorks forums
