I didn't have to download anything (well...I had to download Win7, doh, lol )....I got my SP1 integrated on the 16th through TechNet :)

Haven't really noticed anything different so far....isn't it just one big collection of all the previously released updates though?

No, not excatly...at least a quater of SP1 add hotfixes to Windows 7, not released security updates only...you lucky enough to get this from technet!!

File Index had change aswell to bigger size during a Sfc /Scannow. Ms little baby have more shape now.

Oops....guess I didn't get that right

Even with the SP1 RTM installed (on January 15th), I still received these updates:



(sorry if I'm repeating an experience already presented in this thread - I've been gone a few weeks)

Well, I am now the proud owner of Windows 7 SP1 Via Windows Update with a little help from Matt's Fix It. I've been waiting for something magical to happen but so far I don't see anything different.

The magic is that your box keeps working, boots up and shuts down when asked.

Agree

And I'm pretty sure your OS was working before the update - so nothing was broken with the update. Also there are a lot of under the hood changes that you won't notice.

I get the same error and thanks to the lack of info about which 'components' are supposed to be missing - I'm buggered if I know what 'missing' component is the culprit.


Out of curiosity, have you removed any Windows features via Uninstall a Program, disabled any services or altered any scheduled tasks?

Have you used DriverSweeper at all?

Have you tried turning off your Antivirus program.
Had the same trouble with mine. Turned off AV
went without issue.
