You can follow the instructions I posted in the 3/13/2015 update to Download sites for old, free MS compilers and IDEs but the system restore point has dubious value. In fact it didn't help at all. When I was in trouble I found myself reinstalling the application then removing it again in the correct order. The key here is to uninstall SP1 first, then use Stewart Heath's VS2010 uninstall utility in default mode. If you find yourself in trouble, reinstall VS2010 and VS2010-SP1. If you need installers I have them here in my dropbox.

Same here, make sure you have an installer. The web installer in my dropbox still works surprisingly. Any trouble, reinstall and uninstall again.
| Name | Size | Version |

| Microsoft SDK for Windows 7 (7.1) | 7.0.7600.16385.40715 | |
| Microsoft SDK for Windows 7 (7.0) | 7.1.7600.0.30514 |
If you have any issues with this, look at the last entry in the log. There's a View Log button when setup fails next to the Finish button. A part of the SDK that the installer is looking for may be missing. Search for the keyword "fail" and "unknown source". If you find an unknown source in the log file, download and extract the ISO from the SDK archives page and run the installer for the missing component. Any archive client will work. I use 7-zip 9-22beta. For SDK 7.0 I had to reinstall Intellidocs before I could completely remove the SDK. And for SDK 7.1 I had to install the Windows Performance Toolkit to remove the SDK completely. Only the ISO will work here, not the redistributables.
Also beware of the Microsoft Install/Uninstall Fixit it doesn't actually do anything but clean your registry. It removed both SDKs but then wouldn't let me reinstall them, all of the files were still in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.x all that was different was that they were not in the add/remove programs control panel.

These will be reinstalled later. You can not install Windows SDK for Windows 7 (7.1) with NET 4.0 Framework if you already have the Visual C++ 2010 SP1 redistributable installed or you will get the dreaded error 5100.
Use the web installers linked from the SDK archives page.
The standalone Python compiler will install the VS2008 (VC90) compilers and headers as well as the vcvarsall.bat batch file that sets environment variables necessary to build Python packages on the fly using pip and setuptools>=6.0. However to build packages using distutils, i.e.: python setup.py build you will need to patch vcvarsall.bat in your C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC directory. To do this copy the vcvarsall.txt file that the SDK created as vcvarsall.bat, then patch it with the Gist in my post. i.e.: patch vcvarsall.bat vcvarsall.bat.patch in bash after downloading and extracting the Gist.
The Express edition only has VB, C# and C/C++ compilers, and does not allow extensions, whereas the community edition has everything, but is restricted for commercial use in large corporations.
