During installation I get a message:

Unfortunately, the component installation did not complete successfully. Please check the detailed logs for the error message.

I tried installing to all users, single user, many destinations and names.

Details:

Output folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Cloud SDK Downloading Google Cloud SDK core. Extracting Google Cloud SDK core. Create Google Cloud SDK bat file: C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Cloud SDK\cloud_env.bat Installing components. The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. Failed to install.

What to do?

for some reason it seems it doesn't like the spaces in the path. Change to other path without spaces: like C:/some/folder/with/no/spaces/cloud-sdk
