Will not install!

[JackRief]

I've downloaded the 10.2 SDK, attempted to install it but received the attached dialog.   I have VS 2010, but had to install SP1.   Tried again to install the SDK but, again, received the attached error.   Tried rebooting my Windows 8 development machine but still get the error!

Any ideas how to proceed?
Thanks

Hi,

Sorry to hear you are having problems installing the SDK. Occasionally I have experienced issues with Visual Studio, service packs and software compatibility and in these situations it's typically some combination of a Visual Studio repair and/or re-applying the service pack which resolve the problem.

Is there a specific reason why you are using VS2010? It's worth noting that 10.2 was the release to support Windows XP/Vista, .NET 4.0 and VS2010. Future releases will be targeting VS2012, .NET 4.5 and above.

Here's the deprecation notice issued earlier this year: http://downloads2.esri.com/support/TechArticles/W26496_W25918_DEPRECATION_PLAN_FOR_ARCGIS_101_and_10....

You will also be interested in this blog post which discusses the future of the WPF SDK as it evolves to become the Windows Desktop API portion of the forthcoming ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET. This new product, due for launch summer 2014 is a single .NET SDK which targets the 3 primary Microsoft platforms: Desktop, Store and Phone. http://blogs.esri.com/esri/arcgis/2013/07/05/the-history-and-future-of-the-arcgis-sdks-for-net/
