Unable to install lync 2013 sdk with VS 2013

Question

I am using VS 2013 and need to reference the Lync 2013 SDK. The install fails with:

Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 SP1 or higher not found

Is there any work around or do I have to downgrade to VS 2012?

Thanks, Bill

I got it solved.

You can fix it by installing WinRAR and then right-clicking the .EXE file (the installer), extract it, and then run the 64 bit setup file. It installs to Program Files from where you can just reference the DLLs.
