    (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:
