  There is a known issue with the legacy DirectX SDK installer due to a bug in the VS 2010 RTM REDIST package. See https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2728613 and http://blogs.msdn.com/b/chuckw/archive/2011/12/09/known-issue-directx-sdk-june-2010-setup-and-the-s1023-error.aspx

  You should be aware that since you are using VS 2013, you have the Windows 8.1 SDK which superceeds the legacy DirectX SDK. As such, you ideally should try to not use it at all. If you need to use it for things like the deprecated D3DX library or XAudio 2.7, you need to setup the VC++ Directories in the reverse order for VS 2012 or VS 2013 that you did for VS VS2010. See

  http://blogs.msdn.com/b/chuckw/archive/2013/07/01/where-is-the-directx-sdk-2013-edition.aspx

  For details on what to use instead of the legacy DirectX SDK, see

  One last note, you may find that VS 2013 Community is a more full-featured option than using VS 2013 Express for Windows Desktop, assuming you meet the license requirements. See

  Note the closest match on MSDN Forums for your topic would be the "Building Windows Store games with DirectX" forum--I do recognize you are building Win32 desktop apps but DirectX 11 is basically the same for Win32 desktop apps as it is for Windows Store/Windows phone/Xbox One apps. Other options include "Windows Desktop SDK", and for some specific problems "Application Compatibility for Windows Desktop Development". Alternatively, you can also try stackoverflow.

  Read all the blog posts that cover the many known issues of using the legacy DirectX SDK with VS 2013. Ideally, you should not try to use the legacy DirectX SDK at all... just use the built-in Windows 8. SDK with VS 2013 for Windows Desktop, use DirectX 11, and the various CodePlex support libraries instead of D3DX.
