I tried to install the WDK (7.1.0) from a burned ISO image.

However, a few seconds after the autostart shows the main DDK menu, I get a
KitSetup Runtime Initialization Error! (Code:0x0007). The installer
immediately crashes and exits.

The problem is that 1) I use a dedicated SATA drive for my temporary file
system, and 2) I have defined the TEMP environmental variable in the root of
that drive (T:), so there's a backslash ending the TEMP variable string.

I can confirm that ANY TEMP envar with a trailing backslash will cause the
installer to fail catastrophically, so it's not just a matter of the drive
selection.

Hopefully this (incredibly stupid) bug will be fixed in the next release.

Note that no other software fails this way on this system - just the WDK
installer.

Enjoy!

Thanks Pete - I have forwarded this to the proper people on the WDK team to
get this looked at.
