To install the SDK, you can fake that you have an earlier version of Visual Studio installed. At least it seemed to me that this worked.
What I did was export the registry entries to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\Setup\vs, find and replace VisualStudio\14.0using VisualStudio\12.0and import the registry entries again.
This allowed me to install the SDK, and I subsequently deleted the imported records again. Make sure (using regedit) that you are not overwriting any existing entries, of course.
