The fix for the 'swdconfig' issue can be found here:

devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../

The pack format has been updated, and 'swdconfig' is no longer used. So the Keil IDE did not recognize that term. It is safe to remove it from the PDSC file (which is basically an XML file that tells what the pack does and its dependencies).

You probably don't need to know this to do the fix, but... This gave me a good overview of what all the tags in that file mean:

I only ever see the pop up for the Segger drivers, never the Keil Pack Installer. I made the mistake of installing the SDK first, but I've tried both removing then re-installing and repairing. Is there a way to launch the Keil Pack Installer manually?

Just recently picked up a new nRF51822 DK and I'm seeing the same issue. Just trying to open a project in Keil, and getting errors loading packs. One such error is below. Opening the Pack installer from Keil generates an error for each Nordic package.

C:\Keil_v5\ARM\PACK\NordicSemiconductor\nRF_DeviceFamilyPack\1.0.3\NordicSemiconductor.nRF_DeviceFamilyPack.pdsc(60,49): Error parsing node '#text' :no declaration found for element 'swdconfig'

I seem to be stuck with the same problem. Both nRF51822 (previously working OK) and nRF51422 dev kits (just getting started with this) behave the same. 'Repair' doesn't seem to fix this for me.

The "Error loading software packs..." message refers to four errors in nRF_DeviceFamilyPack.pdsc at (60,49) and (117,18).

I've also tried following the recommended link to www.keil.com/mdk5/legacy (mdkcm510.exe) which as Tarik has already suggested removes the initial compatibility issue.

Hope that helps, but I'm also currently stuck.

When you install the nRF51 SDK, two installers will pop up at the end of the installer. One for Segger drivers, and one for the Keil Pack Installer. Try launching the nRF51 SDK installer and press "repair" to make sure that the pack is installed properly.
