Installing Windows XP Support Tools (to get WinDiff) on Windows 7

Is there anything wrong with installing Windows XP Service Pack 2 Support Tools on Windows 7? In particular, I want to use WinDiff. If this should not be done, then how else can I install WinDiff on Windows 7?

A version of WinDiff.exe (6.1.7716.0, dated 13May2010) that I have found to operate flawlessy on a 7601 build (AMD64) may be found in the MicrosoftSDKs/Windows/v7.1/Bin folder when you install Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4

According to the above there should be a Windows 7 compatible version in the Windows SDK For Windows 7 And .Net Framework 4. I could not find a release with the same publication date specified in the post, but it appears you can download it here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8442 . I would suggest trying that version.
