installation of VS 2015 Update 3 reported an error installing Windows SDK 10.0.14393.

i found some forum entries about that issue, tipping for separat installation of the SDK. i did so. result:

Blockquote Installation did not complete successfully.

Log-File shows that the rollback started after

CAQuietExec: Creating UnionWinMD using mdmerge tool CAQuietExec: MDMerge failed. Please check See MDMerge tool logs at C:\Users\Lothar\AppData\Local\Temp\UnionWinmdWorkingFolder\Logs\27555-MDMerge.log and C:\Users\Lothar\AppData\Local\Temp\UnionWinmdWorkingFolder\Logs\27555-MDMerge.err CAQuietExec: Error 0x80070002: Command line returned an error. CAQuietExec: Error 0x80070002: CAQuietExec Failed CustomAction GenUnionWinMD returned actual error code 1603 (note this may not be 100% accurate if translation happened inside sandbox) MSI (s) (74:50) [11:34:03:800]: Note: 1: 2265 2: 3: -2147287035

Any suggestions?

My instance of your problem included problems with the KB3165756 Update to Visual Studio 2015, lo these last 2 days. Though I've cleared that (downloaded the VS2015 .iso AND ran it OFFLINE <-- that was key), the 10.0.14393 Windows SDK installer now simply terminates without doing anything. Like you, the 10586 SDK installer went in smoothly.

For the version 10.0.14393.33 this helped me: https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/issues/2571#issuecomment-259671943

You have to download the entire installer package via web-install of SDK. Then go to the folder with downloaded data and edit UserExperienceManifest.xml the described way.
