GNAT.Net hasn't been able to install without issue since Visual Studio
2008 the appropriate SDK. However, there is a way to fool the installer:
Save the following in a .reg file, adjust the path if necessary and import.
For 32-bit Windows: http://pastebin.com/Mr4W5NQE
For 64-bit Windows: http://pastebin.com/RKD929jv
(make sure the file ends with a newline)

And now you should be able to install an almost usable GNAT.Net. Good luck.
