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...

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.
