Windows 7 SP1

Yes, I was benching the last two nights testing the U3011. For some odd reason, Batman AA will not run after the SP. I deleted the local files after checking the cache. I am downloading again now. Dirt 2, was about the same. I have not tested anything else yet. AA could be fluke, but I need to see if anything else was broken. It was working just last night.

yeah must have been a fluke because no problems with Batman AA on my end.
 
When I try to apply SP1 via Windows Update I get error # 80073712.

There are a few potential fixes for this in Vista SP1, but the same rule doesnt apply to Windows 7.

So I manually download the 903MB SP1 file windows6.1-KB976932-X64.exe from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...e6-4056-4059-8a1b-3a9b77cdfdda&displaylang=en via IE9 (Firefox won't work).

When I try the manual update I get this error.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/why-am-i-receiving-message-system-components-missing

  1. In the flash/dvd root folder for Windows 7 select setup.exe.
  2. On the Install Windows page, click Install now.
  3. Click Get important updates for installation.
  4. On the Please read the license terms page, if you accept the license terms, click I accept the license terms, and then click Next.
  5. On the Which type of installation do you want? page, click Upgrade to begin the upgrade. You might see a compatibility report.
  6. Follow the instructions to finish installing Windows 7.

This fix is a bunch of BS. Regardless I try it, but it fails. Mentions that I first need to uninstall Adobe reader and the ATI Catalyst Install Manager. It then tells me that my HDD controller might be effected as well.

So I stopped their and didn't go any further. I suppose I can uninstall the ATI drivers along with Adobe Reader. Maybe once I do that I will be able to install the manual SP1 update without having to update my OS.

I wonder if this issue only applies to ATI users?

I've got 2 Win7 computers (one phenom ii x4 945 + radeon 3600hd win7 pro 64bit, one phenom ii x6 1090t + radeon 5830 win7 ultimate 64bit) and i'm getting error 80200053 on both of them when trying to install. both are fully up to date otherwise, both run MSE for antivirus/spyware. i tried installing on both after disabling MSE, but no luck.

eta: just tried it on my laptop (core i3 m330, win7 home premium 64bit) and i also get 80200053. so it must be some piece of software that is in common between all 3, but other than MSE i cant think of anything.

Well, after 7 hours in SP1 hell I finally have it up and running. The update downloaded but would not install and suggested I reboot the W7 disc and do an upgrade as something seemed to be broken in my install. Various forms of hell there and still no SP1. Got the dreaded 80200053 error repeatedly. Tried all forms of fixes, troubleshoot Windows Update utility to no avail.

Was about to try download SP1 from the MS download center and_finally_ came across this update readiness tool. Will try and insert the link

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/What-is-the-System-Update-Readiness-Tool

Installed that and although it didn't seem it was doing anything I waited a while and tried again to download SP1. Well, it downloaded and installed. Not sure what the tool did but it must have fixed some broken files in W7 that the other tools missed. According to what I read there are myriad contingencies with various systems trying to install the service pack and the tool tries to even them out. Guess it did for me.

Anyone who is getting the 80200053 error might try tool this before formatting, reinstalling W7, trying to validate authenticity (which didn't work either). I did SP1 and 2 in Vista without a hitch and W7 SP1 on my Envy laptop also without a hitch.

I did turn off Norton during the downloads but was using IE9RC with all its tracking protection so turned that off too at a point.

Wondering now if it was worth all the trouble as don't see any real difference other than my desktop SSD WEI score went up from 7.7 to 7.8 but that might just be from the format and reinstall. Guess I broke one too many files in W7 since I installed it originally. Hope this helps someone.
 
Just thought I'd add my experience, I just installed Service Pack 1 on 3 machines: the 2 sig rigs, each with 7 Ultimate 64-bit, and my Windsor box running 7 Pro 64-bit. I installed it through Windows Update on each, and it worked perfectly. One machine was up-to-date before hand, one had 1 other update, and the Core 2 machine had 14 updates to go through. SP1 successfully installed on each.
 
Just reinstalled the Readiness Tool and tried patching. Failed again. Error message: One or more system components that the service pack requires are missing. The only way to solve this is to reinstall Windows 7. I'm at my wit's end.

BTW this is my 5th try.

Thanks for linking that update because that is the exact thing I read that _finally_ lead me to the Update Readiness Tool. Couldn't find it again. Yeah, it would have been nice of MS to suggest everybody run this tool_before_ they try to install SP1 update just in case their installation of W7 might be broken. I know I messed with mine a lot over the last year.

Be careful what you wish for! I had considered doing a reinstall of Windows along with the SP (or not)--well, turns out I got just what I wished for but not exactly in the way I expected. Did you try doing the Windows update troubleshooter too (and in advanced mode)? I ran that a couple of times and it fixed some things each time. Good luck!
 
Ya looks like they didn't beta test this one as well as they should have. I'll see how it goes on larger rollout but so far ti is hit and miss. On my system at work, flawless install, took only a couple minutes and everything is good. At home? Code 80073701 if installed from Windows update, a different 800 error if installed from the stand alone installer. Their special fix, and their general Windows update fixer don't work. Other updates still work fine, installed two optional updates after it failed and they went on, just SP1.

So seems like there'll be some hit and miss. I'm just going to ignore it at home for the moment and reinstall my system with SP1 slipstreamed when I get my Sandy Bridge board. Going to be a pain at work though because I'm sure it'll hit some systems and the users won't want to reinstall.

I wish they'd tested it a bit better.

Thanks for the suggestion! But the windows update troubleshooting didn't find any problems. Is there anyway I can live w/o SP1? It is a collection of the previously released updates right? All other updates installed perfectly.

I just wanna make sure because reinstalling Windows is a BIG thing that takes many hours. I'd rather not do it unless I absolutely have to.
 
just do without it for now and try again in a week or so. sp1 has very little in it if you have been keeping your pc up to date.
 
I'm still trying to get this damn SP to install. I just completed an in-place upgrade (repair install) and I'm about to try one more time.

Wish me luck, I guess...

no luck with that here. i guess i'll wait a week
 
Finally got it to install from the upgrade option via the disk, tool didn't do anything for me. Honestly after having to reinstall some drivers such as video, usb and even some games like BC2, I haven't even checked all of them yet, I might as well have done a fresh install. In any case not very impressed, went off without a hitch on my 3 year old machine and this year old one had the problems, both have w7Ultx64. System was running flawlessly before, no bluescreens or app crashes that would suggest anything OS wise was corrupted prior. Seems this SP wasn't very thoroughly tested imo.

Yep they fucked something up. If it doesn't work I'd recommend just waiting. It brings nothing new to the table to no need to rush out and upgrade. Maybe they fix it a bit later. If they still haven't in a couple weeks to a month, then look at something else like a reinstall. However it is very much a non-essential service pack, just a patch rollup largely, so just letting it skate should be fine.

That's what I'll be doing at home.
 
5th installation, still having the same problems I did on the first install.

After installing SP1 a slew of applications will not start. Double-clicking the icon does nothing (no error, the cursor just shows the loading circle for a second and that's it). This includes Microsoft applications like the calculator and 3rd part applications.

Doesn't even work after doing an in-place upgrade. What the hell is wrong with this SP?

Windows update, downloaded, installed, restart, done. All good first time. Now my PC works fabulously, everything that could possibly go wrong is fixed. Thanx MS. I'm still seeing the same quirks after sp1 install. Well it probably fixed some things, we'll see.
 
Uninstalled SP1, everything works perfectly again, as usual. Guess I'll wait to see if Microsoft can get their act together...
 
This is just stupid. I've tried four times trying to instal. Did restarts and installed and nothing worked. I keep getting the 80200053 error.

BLAH!

Im trying this method now, I hope it works. DLing the tool is taking a while though.. usually when I DL from MS it maxes my connection.. i'm only getting 1/4 right now..

EDIT: This method did not work for me. After I installed the tool it kept askin me to install the same update over and over (some hotfix). I still can't update to SP1....

EDIT 2: Hmm it looks like I spoke to soon. SP1 seems to be DLing now. Before it fail at 18% and now im at 24%. I hope it keeps going.

EDIT 3: Installed and working fine. Thanks for that tool. That really seemed to fix it for me!!

No reboot required, and they installed in a few seconds, so just a head's up for those that might be curious. Note that neither update is classified as Critical, either which could be because some folks applying SP1 are having issues while the majority doesn't seem to be.

EDIT:
Ok, while the process completed and did not require a reboot when the updates were applied as I closed out the Windows Update dialogue completely, now a few minutes later I get the obligatory "Need to restart" message so that's a bit odd... oh well, time to reboot. :confused:

It seems that D3DOverrider is the culprit for DX9 games crashing with W7 SP1 installed. Is anyone having issues as well while running D3DOverrider to force triple buffering after upgrading to W7 SP1?

This makes upgrading to SP1 a complete no go for me. I cannot game without triple buffering and since the guy that develops the application has abandoned both Rivatunner and D3DO I'm stuck until some alternative comes out. Luckily enough I read about this issue before upgrading.
 
I had a hell of a time getting SP1 on my machine. I had a vLite Win 7 install and SP1 kept complaining that I was missing files needed for its installation.

In the end I had to do an in-windows "upgrade" using the Win 7 install disk to put back whatever files it wanted/needed.
 
Sorry to hear people are having issues. Just reporting that I completed install in about 20 minutes (80MB DL) and after one restart, everything was running fine. I didn't test everything, but Chrome, Itunes, Black Ops and WoW all worked fine.

Ultimate 64-Bit (full specs in sig)

Do you happen to use D3DOverrider to enable triple buffering on any of those games?
 
Did a laptop last night no issues
2 desktop today this same issue
80200053 PROBLEM: went with the readiness thing fails at 15, 24%... will update everyone.

WAIT.. it worked after failing 4..5 times... it worked after that tool and this time I RDP in instead of using bomgar.

Ah...glad that that DriverSweeper fix it out. I thought I was just going to have to live without it or reformat (again).
On the plus side it did get me to back-up all of my crap again :p
 
Installed SP1 through windows update on win 7 and notice noting new. According to the sp1 documents there isn't any new major features or performance increase for win7 unlike for Server 2008 R2 which I have running. I got Hyper V and now I have dynamic memory to set for my virtual machine.

Apparently some of the problems with installing SP1 are caused if you use Driver Sweeper to uninstall ATI drivers. A new version and a "fix" are out:

http://forum.phyxion.net/viewtopic.php?id=17

Its not just Driver Sweeper - Driver Cleaner is affected as well. I've never run Driver Sweeper but own Driver Cleaner .NET and I ran into the same issue.

To those of you that are receiving the 0x800f0826 error, have an ATI gpu and are using Driver Cleaner or Driver Sweeper follow the link in DGibFen's post (above) for a fix. I created a forum post about this on the Driver Cleaner forums as well:

http://www.hardwareheaven.com/drive...-sp1-installation-issue-error-0x800f0826.html

I was pulling my hair out for 3+ hours trying to get SP1 to install on my laptop until I discovered the source of the problem. The fix is somewhat complicated (you need to edit security permissions and ownership to copy the files) but it allows you to avoid a full reinstall of Windows 7.

Besides the painful laptop install, everything went fine on two other desktops and my Server 2008 R2 server.

Well, I installed it on 4 out of 5 machines without a single hitch. One being an old core duo laptop. I used the disk on 3 of them and windows update on one desktop. No problems.
 
SP1 doesn't show up on Windows Update... All other updates are installed.
