(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 (https://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=7d2f6ad7-656b-4313-a005-4e344e43997d&displaylang=en)

4.  Reinstall SP1.

    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.
