SP1 dont get installed - System update Rediness Error

[zinbart]

I am having win7 ultimate on a fresh format HDD. now i have downloaded SP1 directly from the microsoft website: Download details: Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (KB976932)

Now, i cant even install sp1 i am getting the error:

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

The above link asks to download some file tht is 300MB in size...

Someone suggested to install KB976902, but even after installing this, i am getting same error.

Any solutions?

Possibly this:

If it is prompting you to download the Readiness tool it probably needs it.

hmm... its weird tht one needs to install additional' stuff like "system rediness tool" before installing a service pack. I have never faced such issue on XP & Vista.

BTW, i just want to install 1-2updates tht might be absolute necessary to install SP1.....So any clue what those can be?
