Installing Windows Identity Foundation (WIF) on Windows 8.1

If you are trying to figure out how to install Windows Identity Foundation run-time on windows 8.1 here are the instructions:

"In Windows 8 Windows Identity Foundation is installed (enabled) by turning a windows feature on in Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Programs and Features > Turn Windows feature on or off the feature is Windows Identity Foundation 3.5. Installers linked in the answer above will not work on Windows 8"

If you try to install Windows6.1-KB974405-x64.msu you will get an "Installer encountered an error 0x80096002 The certificate for the signer of the message is invalid of not found".
