安装Windows SDK / Kits 8.1 / 10

Question

Since Microsoft now requires sha256 for signed downloads, I need to update signtool.exe which is part of the Windows SDK / kit.

The Windows Kis SDKs should be good (I am using Windows 10) but I am getting an error when trying to install (both online with the setup and the redistributable download)

Here's the log:

I have tried installing itto default path and altenative path. I have also tried selecting only to install one thing. Same result no matter what.

Answer 1

Here's how I solved it.

• Install SDK on another computer.
• Zip
• Move to computer where SDK install is not working.
• Start using the new signtool
