Windows 7 SDK Installation success or error status: 1603

Today my team lead asked me to install FxCop 10 for static code analysis(which is available as part of Windows 7 SDK.) in our projects. As I am using Visual Studio Professional edition, the inbuilt option for Static code analysis is not available. I downloaded the Windows 7 SDK ISO from http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=8442 link. And I am able to start the installation. After some time, I got a wiered error like the following -

Windows 7 SDK - Installation Error

Windows 7 SDK - Installation Error

After checking the log file I found a line like this. Installation success or error status: 1603. I searched for this particular error and it was a generic error, sometimes it was related to low disk space. I tried the installation serveral times and everytime I got the same error. Then I modified the installation options, I un-checked all the VC++ related options; which is not required for me. And its worked :) Later I found some problem with the VC++ compiler options and Microsoft has released a patch for it. And you can down load it from http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=4422

Happy Coding :)
