Error While Installing Sql Server Data Tools (SSDT) - installation

Question

We've been trying to install SQL Server Data Tools and have experiencing an error preventing us from installing it and we can't figure it out.
We're installing it on Windows 7 Professional and already have VS 2015 and SQL Server 2014 successfully installed.
Here are the error messages that were included in the log:
Automatic updates could not be paused due to error: 0x80240025. Continuing...

Answer 1

There is also a workaround by downloading and installing separately:
Microsoft.DataTools.Shared.vsix, Microsoft.DataTools.AnalysisServices.vsix, Microsoft.DataTools.ReportingServices.vsix, Microsoft.DataTools.IntegrationServices.vsix
from:
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ProBITools.MicrosoftAnalysisServicesModelingProjects
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ProBITools.MicrosoftReportProjectsforVisualStudio
etc.
Or via Visual Studio 2017 -> Tools -> Get Tools and Features...

Answer 2

The error means the machine your downloading from cannot get to the URL. You could speak to your network admins or the easier approach is to download the iso and install from that:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssdt/download-sql-server-data-tools-ssdt
See the section on iso for the links you need.

Answer 3

Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration may be blocking site access.
Using IE, try navigating to the site in the error log. If Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration is blocking it, temporarily disable it for Administrators, and re-run SSDT.
Server Manager>Local Server>Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration

Answer 4

Had the same error installing SSDT on a fresh Windows 2016 machine in EC2.
Disabling Internet Explorer Enhanced Security solved it.
