How to install
Here are steps you can use to install the Windows Phone SDK 7.1:
If you have any Visual Studio 2010 editions (such as Professional, Ultimate, C# Express, etc) installed on your computer, you will need to install Visual Studio 2010 SP1 first.
If you have the WPDT 7.1 Beta, the Windows Phone SDK 7.1 Beta 2 or the Windows Phone SDK 7.1 RC installed, you must uninstall it before installing the Windows Phone SDK 7.1. To uninstall it, you can go to the Programs and Features control panel and uninstall the item named Windows Phone SDK 7.1 (RC) - ENU and that will automatically uninstall all of the beta components that you need to remove before proceeding to install the Windows Phone SDK 7.1.
Note: If you have the original Windows Phone 7 version of WPDT and/or XNA Game Studio 4.0 installed, you do not need to uninstall them. The Windows Phone SDK 7.1 and the XNA Game Studio 4.0 Refresh will automatically uninstall the previous version for you behind the scenes. You only need to uninstall previous 7.1 beta builds.
After updating any existing editions of VS 2010 to SP1 and uninstalling any previous beta versions of the Windows Phone SDK that you previously installed, you can proceed with installing the Windows Phone SDK 7.1.
If you encounter Windows Phone SDK 7.1 setup failures
If you run into an installation or uninstallation failure for the Windows Phone SDK 7.1, you can use the log collection tool to gather your setup log files. This log collection tool will create a file named %temp%\vslogs.cab.
Once you have gathered your setup log files, you can upload them to a file server of your choice (such as https://skydrive.live.com), and post a link to the log files in the forums to get additional support.
If you run into uninstallation issues with any release of the Windows Phone SDK or XNA Game Studio, you can use the cleanup tool described at https://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/pages/9544320.aspx to remove the Windows Phone SDK or XNA Game Studio.

Hi Peter - I found your post on the forums at forums.create.msdn.com/.../592221.aspx. I'm going to try to address this issue in the forum post because it is more likely that other people who run into similar issues will find the information by searching the forums as opposed to searching on my blog.Anonymous

Hi Arron and anirudh, I managed to install WPSDKv71_en1.iso with a MD5 checksum of 635b2f5e15829e8855d5529ee4b58dd6. Could eiter of you please verify this? I would also like to second anirudh's suggestion in posting the checksums on your blog and on www.microsoft.com/.../details.aspx as well because they are really useful. Thanks!Anonymous
