Windows 7 Home premium 64 bit SP1 download/install problems

Question

Hi all,
Bought a brand new laptop from an electronics store in Nov. 2010 with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit pre-installed.
All is well with being notified of all avail. MS updates and I am fully patched with all of them....except SP1. I have never been notified that sp1 was available to download and install.
I have tried everything.
Checked "winver" and no sp1 is not installed
Downloaded SP1 from MS website which requires validation (passed validation of course) and tried running sp1 from desktop and get error "Directory name is invalid"
Turned off A/V and Firewall ran again and same result. Burned and .iso of sp1 ran it, same result.
Ran in safe mode..same thing
Ran MS troubleshooter and updates are fine
I have KB976902 installed
Windows Update KB2454826 is installed
Reset windows updates
All drivers are current
ran sfc/SCANNOW no errors found.
Only language pack installed is English
Pls help

do not match actual file [l:22{11}]"Desktop.ini" :
So run chkdsk C: /r /f first to make sure your HDD is fine, next run sfc /scannow to check if the damaged files can be restored.
