I am trying to install Windows 10 SDK and alternatively the Standalone Developmet Kit on two separate windows 10 PC's and it failes on either...

In both cases the log says: "Hash mismatch for path: C:\ProgramData\Package Cache....

It happened multiple times, even after deleting all files in "package Cache" folder. Is there any solution to this? It seem it's just impossible to download WDK at all... Is there any resolution to this? Is there anyway I can just download the ISO and install from there?

Other reports on this error (1,2,3) testify that it is caused by corrupt downloads. You can very well get these consistenty if your network is unreliable and the downloading software is not sophisticated enough to deal with interrupted transfers or large delays (I had such problems with Mercurial).

You can download a standalone version of SDK as per Windows 10 sdk offline installer?, but M$ only offers to download with its own program, so it's subject to the same problems.

Another possible reason is a bug in the downloader, as RC1 Error 0x80091007: Hash mismatch for path: DotNetVersionManager_x64 · Issue #1085 · aspnet/Home, the 2nd link above, suggests: hashes are checked against files from a different version if they happen to be present. You fix that by deleting whatever the checks are done against - temporary files and any MSIs in the directory you're downloading to (or just download to an empty folder).

Just so the answer is clearer: You download sdksetup.msi TO A CLEAN FOLDER - WITH NO OTHER FILE/FOLDER IN IT Now it should work. What a shameful bug! Unbelievable...
