Why does MATLAB installation fail while installing the suggested Microsoft SDK 7.1

compiler?

Microsoft SDK 7.1 is compatible on Windows 8. However, there have been few issues while installing SDK

on Windows 8. In order to fix the issue, do the following:

1. Press the Windows + R keys on the keyboard.

2. In the Run window, type ’MSCONFIG’ and click OK.

3. Click the Boot tab and uncheck 'Safe Boot' option.

4. On the General tab, click to select the option Selective startup, and then click to clear the option Load

startup items check box.

5. On the Services tab, click to select the Hide all Microsoft services check box, and then click Disable all.

6. On the Startup tab, click Open Task Manager. In the Task Manager window under startup tab, right click

on each startup item which are enabled and select Disable.

7. Click OK, and then click Restart.

After doing the above steps, installation of MATLAB got successfully completed along with Microsoft SDK

7.1 installation.
