(2) 0x800f081f when you install Win7 SP1.
When you attempt to install the standalone package for Service Pack 1 for Windows 7/2008 R2, you might get the following error:
0x800f081f <--This maps to CBS_E_SOURCE_MISSING
You'll be prompted to run the CheckSUR utility and running that utility will not resolve the issue.
This may be due to a pre-release version of the RSAT tools being installed on the system. To alleviate this failure, do the following:
1. Uninstall the pre-release RSAT tools
2. Reboot the system
3. Install the release version of the RSAT tools (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=7d2f6ad7-656b-4313-a005-4e344e43997d&displaylang=en)
4. Reinstall SP1.
Edit:
The Remote Server Administration Toolkit update to support Windows 7 Service Pack 1 has released. Come and get it:

I installed my Windows 7 from a CD where the SP1 is already integrated. So I can't uninstall the SP1.
How can I use the remote tools?
You can't. We are in the same situation. Installed 7 with SP1, and found out that RSAT does not work unless you install RSAT then install SP1.
I have no way to remove SP1 that was part of the OS install.
