SDKSetup.exe has stopped working-Collection of common programming errors

Follow-up:

The setup log indicated that there was an error: “File failed to download – ..” from download.microsoft.com/../~. 

During the failed install attempts I was using a slow internet connection (my mobile phone).  This must have been the culprit as when I connected using a standard internet connection (cable modem) the installation was successful. 

Heads-up,

Matt
