R400/T400/T500/W500 - Win 7 SP1 not installing

Hi Commuity
I searched the existing posts and could not find a similar issue or answer,
I have two G560 Lenovo laptops with the original Win7 Home Premium installed and both cannot update to SP1. I have tried to install SP1 using Microsoft Update and using the file downloaded from the Microsoft support site (all 1.9Gb). Niether managed to complete the update to SP1. The main issue apart from missing security in SP1 is that I can't get a later version of Internet Explorer.
Windows Update says the system is up to date, but then Window explorer will not update as SP1 is not installed.
Can anyone advise how I can get Win7 to update to SP1 and beyond? Much appreciate your support.
Should I follow the advice at http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/troubleshoot-problems-installing-service-pack ?

@glenn578...
Have you had a chance to try Hoov's suggestion? If so, were you successful at getting SP1 installed?
Regards.

R400/T400/T500/W500: display driver "amdkmdap" crashes

Executive summary: All current Lenovo ThinkPads with switchable graphics (R400, T400, T500, and W500) have usability issues in connection with Vista and the use of external monitors. For more than half a year, users were plagued by frequent Windows crashes. During that time frame, Lenovo did not comment on the various available reports and complaints. By the end of April 2009, Lenovo resolved many issues by releasing a new official driver. Though several problems, including severe ones, remain as of today. Lenovo has said to be actively working on the remaining issues (without outcomes so far).
Important information for affected users: If you're having one of the issues reported here, then Lenovo advises you to call your local Lenovo Support. Demand that a case is submitted to hardware engineering. In particular, you should ask for "a CMVC case to be created and escalated". Using these "code words" ensures that your case is properly addressed.
Old problem description
On Vista 32 and Vista 64, the ATI display driver "amdkmdap" crashes when an external monitor was active before OR an application (game) using DirectX technology is used. The user typically receives a couple of so-called "Timeout Detection and Recovery" (TDR) messages from Vista:
(Click here for an explanation of the message from Microsoft)
Sometimes, amdkmdap crashes several times in a row. Then Windows crashes with a so-called "BSOD", likely resulting in data loss. Typically, Windows detects "atikmpag.sys" as the crashing driver. Sometimes, also an instantaneous reboot happens independent of prior TDR crashes. In such a case, no BSOD is displayed.
The following movie illustrates the phenomenon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBX9QsCmrpY
This behavior above has been confirmed for the following ThinkPad models: R400, T400, T500, and W500 (see below). Problem reports indicate that the symptoms are often related to playing games and/or the notebook being docked and the external monitor being connected via DVI.
Though, the presence of these two conditions is not necessary to trigger the driver crash:
There are reports where no dock was involved and the external monitor was connected directly to the notebook's VGA port.
Furthermore, there are reports where the notebook was docked and an external monitor was connected to the DVI port.
So far, there has been no report relating to a monitor being connected to the Display Port which is available on some models. (Possibly because this port is not used.)
There are a few reports where neither a dock nor an external monitor was involved.
Playing certain games reliably triggers the crash.
Steps to reproduce
While intially (around September 2008 - October 2008) the crash could be triggered easily, the situation is now (December 2008) more complex. The crashes do still occur, though there is no clear pattern anymore. According to various reports, the display driver crash can be triggered as follows:
Resuming from standby
Watching a DVD.
Playing one of these games: Fallout 3, Bioshock, Team Fortress 2, Knights of the Old Republic.
Arbitrarily during normal work. On a normal working day, the problem occurs at least once.
Further issues
Here are more issues which seem to be related. More information can be found in other posts of this thread:
The notebook display and/or the external monitor runs at a low resolution after resuming from standby.
After the login both monitors flicker while adjusting the resolution of the monitor.
The external monitors cannot be activated using Presentation Director.
The external monitor is blank after docking or undocking.
There are some reports about display driver crashes on machines running Windows XP.
The switchable graphics drivers limit the useable RAM under Vista 32 to 2.5GB (i.e. 500MB-1GB less than usual).
Workarounds
Lenovo has released a new "tip" document which provides a link to a new driver. Get it here but be sure to read the instructions!
(Old tips follow below the line. Consider them as obsolete.)
Here are some tips which might make the problem occur less often. I have not tried all of them. Though, A. and B. have improved the situation for me; your mileage may vary.
A. If you do not have to use an external monitor, then switch to Intel graphics for time being.
Otherwise:
B. Make some changes to your system:
Disable Aero.
Create a new profile in the power manager with the following setting: When running on AC, turn off the monitor after 40 minutes. (Thereby, the notebook goes less often to standby.)
Install the newest graphics drivers.
Install the newest BIOS.
Install the newest Hotkey utility.
Install the newest drivers.
C. Disable the switchable graphics in the BIOS setup and install modded drivers from ATI (see zilla's post in this thread for instructions).
The last workaround (C.) has been confirmed to work reliably by several users. Though, thereby you use drivers which have not been tested by Lenovo. It's possible (but not very likely) that damage results by doing so. Also, it might be difficult to install a future Lenovo driver which resolves the issues reported here. Finally, you cannot use the power-saving Intel graphics. Thus, you should only use this workaround if you know what you are doing.
The programs can be downloaded from the following locations. Notice that System Update does not always offer you immediately the lastest versions.
R400 and T400 users: Go here.
T500 and W500 users: Go here.
User opinions
"Is there any chance this will be fixed, or should I just get used to my "workstation-class" machine crashing regularly?"
"I [am] thinking about to sell my w500 if this problems won't be fixed in the next weeks."
"I've got a T400 w/ Vista 64 and I'll say the Switchable drivers on it S[**]K bad."
"Unfortunately for Lenovo, our IT Manager is at the point of a awarding a new and rather substantial Enterprise Agreement for our whole organization's PC's, which included a rollout of many new PC's for 2009. The contract was going to go to Lenovo. He mumbled something about HP when I asked him about the state of affairs with my PC... [O]ur firm's IT Manager decided to return all the faulty Lenovo's for a refund and would replace them with HP's."
"Is someone from Lenovo paying attention[?]"
"i'm getting angry with ati and lenovo."
"there are no new drivers and no ETA for a fix."
"ThinkPads are supposed to be good, so you'd think there wouldn't be a problem like this."
"honestly it is completely unacceptable for lenovo to have done nothing this long. I paid extra to get the ATI card, and now I can't hook up my laptop to an external monitor without it crashing. I will probably end up selling the laptop soon since using an external monitor is extremely important to me and lenovo doesn't seem to care about fixing the situation."

Original post
Hi there!
I have major troubles using a Dell 2709W monitor with my T400.
The notebook is attached to a Advanced Mini Dock to which the monitor is connected via DVI.
The problems are as follows.
A. Activating the external monitor often fails
Steps to reproduce:
1. Attach a Dell 2709W via DVI to an Advanced Mini Dock which is connected to a T40
2. Start Windows and make sure that the T400 is running on the ATI card.
=> Dell monitor enters power saving mode because no signal is coming.
3. In Windows use either the Presentation Director, Windows, or the ATI tools to activate the Dell monitor.
Expected result: The Dell monitor is activated and the Windows desktop is shown on it.
Actual result: It takes 1-3 seconds for the Dell monitor to display something. The monitor shows the Windows desktop for a short period. Then it's black again and the monitor returns to the power saving mode .
Analysis: It seems that the Presentation Director, Windows, or the ATI tools (or more aptly, I guess, the ATI driver) expect a quick response from the DVI-port that a monitor is present. If they do not receive the response, the DVI-port is deactivated again. Since the monitor is too slow to respond and enters the power saving mode too quickly, the monitor can hardly ever be activated.
Suggested change: Change these tools (or the ATI driver) so that they wait longer for a response on the DVI-port.
B. Resuming from monitor sleep causes Windows to fall back to a low resolution if the Dell monitor was activated before
Steps to reproduce:
1. Attach a Dell 2709W via DVI to an Advanced Mini Dock which is connected to a T400
2. Start Windows and make sure that the T400 is running on the ATI card.
3. Select the Energy Star profile
4. Activate the Dell monitor
5. Don't use Windows until the notebook display and the Dell monitor are set to sleep by Windows.
6. Wake up the displays (e.g. by pressing some keys)
Expected result: Both displays are run in the display mode as before.
Actual result: The Dell monitor still sleeps. The notebook displays is run at a lower resolution (I guess 800x600). The Windows login prompt is not visible and it has to be guessed that it is shown. Though the typical Windows login background is visible. If the password is entered, then Windows can be used again. Though, the resolution is still low and the Dell monitor still sleeps.
Analysis: It seems that by sending the Dell monitor to sleep, the monitor deactivates the DVI-interface or enters a low-power interface mode. This seems to disturb some component in Windows (the Presentation Director, Windows, the ATI tools, the ATI driver) in a way that Windows only activates the notebook display when it resumes from "monitor sleep".
Suggested change: Change these tools (or the ATI driver) so that they can cope with the situation that the DVI-interface is deactivated and wait longer for the interface to be in a useable state. Reactivate an external monitor even if it "sleeps very deeply".
Relevant system information
- T400 2767-CTO (T9400, 2x2GB RAM, ATI, WXGA+ LED)
- Advanced Mini Dock
- Vista 32 Business (German) - fully updated
- All Lenovo updates via System Update are installed- Dell 2709W
- The system runs the ATI graphic card in the described scenarios

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Lenovo support made me reinstall presentation director to rule out this component as a factor. After the reinstallation, the amdkmdap-problem is still present. Letting Windows go to standby and waking the system up afterwards, is a reliable method in my case to reproduce the problem on condition that an external monitor was active. The problem does not occur if no external monitor is present.
A web search for "amdkmdap", "atikmpag","BSOD" with one of the ThinkPad-series names (like "T400") shows that other persons also have this problem with R400s, T400s, T500s, and W500s:
- t400: Display driver crashes
- W500 Display Driver
- My W500
- T400 Display driver stopped working...
- T500 Video/Video Driver Issues (2056-4SU)
- NUS T400 issues
- T400 Display Driver Issue
- Vista64 + 4GB RAM + External Display = BSOD
- R400 problem report (in Chinese)
- T500 problem report (in Chinese)
- Bioshock keeps crashing (seems related)
- Vista x64, ATI graphics, dock + external LCD = bluescreens? (a report by a W500 user)
- many problems with lenovo w500
- another R400 problem report (in Chinese)
- Vista BSOD on Lenovo T500 with new Switchable Graphics
- switchable graphics and external monitor through port replic
- Problem with Lenovo T500 notebook & external LCD
- Lenovo ThinkPad T400 - some impressions.
- T400 freezes with graphics Intense programes
- Standard Laptop mit ein paar Macken (in German)
Some possibly related Non-Lenovo cases:
- Why Vista crashes so often when dual display is enabled?
- Vista and 7.3 Display driver atikmdag stopped responding error
- 4870 vista x64 multi-mon = atikdmag BOOM
In the cases in which people observe the "amdkmdap"-problem and describe the circumstances, the use of an external monitor is always a factor. These other reports also indicate that it is likely not an issue with the hardware of my notebook (or then a general problem for many batches of these machine types). For it happens a) on many systems and b) on different kinds of systems.
If others want to contribute to the problem solution, then we should provide Lenovo and ATI a good problem description. So, please add your description.

Bug on t400's fn+brightness? (after install switchable graphics)

it is great that we can use switchable graphics on windows 7 now, thanks.
well, i found a bug (not only my t400, but also several of my friends'), the FN+brightness problem.
1. AMD graphics
2. switch to INTEL graphics (fn+brightness function is just OK)
3. switch back to AMD graphics (fn+brightness is down,,,,) (fn+f5 f8 etc. are OK) (fn+pgup (light) is also OK)
A. log off --> log in (no use)
B1. restart (fine again)
B2. reinstall the hotkey features driver (include restart,,, ) (of course fine again)
C. switch to intel, switch back to amd, down again,,,,,,
is it a universal bug or there is something wrong with my system functions( settings, drivers etc.)
thanks a lot

Another possible work around: after resuming from sleep, toggle to discrete graphics and back to integrated. See if that sorts it until the next sleep - and let us know, please.

FN - CTRL swap on ThinkPad T400 / T500 keyboard [SOLVED]

Hi guys.
I've disassembled T500 firmware and found the place where possible to make a patch for FN-CTRL swap.
Now I need testers. If you are interested, then send me request via email ([email protected]).
Just for your information: I've already made such a BIOS mod for the following Lenovo laptops:
IdeaPad Y550: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/IdeaPad-Y-and-U-series-Laptops/FN-CTRL-swap-on-Lenovo-Y550-keyboard-SOLV...
IdeaPad Y450: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/IdeaPad-Y-and-U-series-Laptops/FN-CTRL-swap-on-Lenovo-Y450-keyboard-SOLV...

It wasn't so easy to make CTRL-FN patch for ThinkPads as for IdeaPad laptops. But after three weeks of hard work I place here the final versions for the following ThinkPads:
R400, T400
R500
T400s
T500, W500
W700, W700ds
X61, X61s
You can download these and other CTRL-FN BIOS mods in my topic at notebookreview.com. Also you can post your requests on CTRL-FN BIOS modifications there (http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=474396).

Photoshop Elements 12 does not install on Win 8.1 64bit

Hi!
My system: Windows 8.1 64 bit with all patches, 32GB Ram and engough HD space.
I downloaded PSE 12 32bit and Premiere Elements 12 64bit. Both won't install.
Problems:
Premiere: Installation fails when shared components should be installed. I spent more than 2hrs trying every tip I found in forums. Same result.
Photoshop: It always tries to deinstall Elements 12 (which is definetely not installed) and fails becaus of "Specified path is empty". It was never fully installed. I cleaned all folders manually, I deleted registry entries according forum advise. I rebooted. I put the installation files onto C:. Before I installed, I deinstalled Elements 9. I also cleaned those files. An no, I did not deinstall my Antivirus. I cannot deactivate it and deinstalling is a very very bad option.
What I already tried:
10 reboots
Deinstall old version
Clean Temp folder
Clean Registry
Delete all folders and hopefull all registry "Elements" entries
Archive OOBE Folder
Moved installation Files to C:
Start Installation as Administrator
Monitored if any other Adobe program is running - killed all
Any help is much apreshiated. I am desperate and about to return the products.
Michael
Added solution attempts.

Ok, I had many problems with the installation, but after three attempts I've got it working. This might work with a previously failed installation - but there are other guides in the forum to get this position -thanks also to the many threads on the this - which pointed me in the right direction
Previously I'd had issues with Error 1935, (on Shared Technologies), Blue screens due to clbudf.sys from Cyberlink Instant burn which blue screened (thread abort exception) this install as also iTunes. (I haven't installed this now...
My scenario. Win 7 (clean) -> Win 8 -> Win 8.1
After setting up the setting up the system.
I ensured the following : (although begrudingly) so I could do a system restore if needed.
-I disabled Anitvirus & Firewall
-enabled Volume Shadow Copy Service
I then ensured I had downloaded Adobe Application Manager 8.0 (read this may help) - I installed - but I did not run it as I believe it updates to Adobe CC Manager( from previous attempts)
i also downloaded and installed the 32 bit versions of :
C++2008 redistributable (32 bit)
C++2008 SP1 redistributable (32 bit)
I installed Premiere Elements (64 bit) - note I had previously installed Sony Vegas 10 Platinum, which downloaded and installed NET 3.5/Net 2.0 adding to windows features, which many have helped - not sure.
I installed Photoshop Elements (32 bit)
I started both apps and updated them to 12.1.
Happy ... finally - hope this helps others - or at least helps adobe improve their installer, diagnose the issue for others.

TestStand deployment does not install LabView on WinXp SP1

I have built a TestStand 3.1 deployment that installs correctly on Windows XP SP2. However, when I install the same deployment on Windows XP SP1, it does not seem to get the LabView runtime installed correctly. LabView does not show up on the Start menu, and attempting to load any .seq files that use .vis lead to an error message about not being able to start the LabView ActiveX server.
Any ideas what could cause this? I found the FAQ about running dcomcnfg.exe, and, of course LabView is not listed as a DCOM application on the Win XP SP1, but it is OK on Win XP SP2. That still doesn't tell me why it isn't loading - it just confirms that it isn't.
Thanks and regards,

LabVIEW development system is the only thing that shows up in the start menu; the runtime engine does not have an entry there. Based on your messages I'll bet you have LabVIEW installed on your SP2 machine but not installed on the SP1 machine.
Did you set the LabVIEW module adaptor to use the runtime engine instead of the development system?

Adobe Acrobat 8 - file updates not installing on Win 7 Professional

How do I install MSP file updates to Adobe Acrobat after downloading them? I have just installed Acrobat 8.0 from the original installation CD on a new PC running Windows 7 Professional (64 bit) and have downloaded the update to 8.1.0 to begin with, but on clicking it get the error messsage 'This patch could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer patch package'. Updater is not working at all. It says it cannot find any updates. Even when I place the MSP file in the Updater folder to which it is supposed to download updates, it does not find updates. What is wrong? Why won't this patch install? Thank you! I really don't want to be stuck with 8.0.0 when I know that years of updates through to 8.3.1 are available, but for some reason they will not install intuitively.

Hi ,
Acrobat 8 is not compatible with Win 7. Please find the mentioned Kb: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/system-requirements-acrobat-family-produ cts.html#main_System_requirements_for_Acrobat_8_Pro showing system requirement for installing Acrobat 8. As Acrobat version 8 is very old product so I would recommend you to purchase Acrobat11 which has more enhanced features and functionalities.

Flash Player 10 Not installing on Win 7 64 bit PC

Flash Player 10 download goes through install procedure and says it is installed but it is not.
After that There is always a Flash Player Install file on the PC.
When I click on that it goes through the install procedure and says it is installed but it is not.
Have tried above install more than 6 different times. Also on my wife's new PC.
Always the same bad result.
These two new PC's are both on WIN 7 64 bit OS.

I tried the suggested method of uninstall and then install. Also the disable instructions for Norton AV.
Still no success. When I again check the list of programs in Control Panel for possible uninstall the Flash Player 10 has returned there.
But the player does not play when needed for some videos on Facebook, etc.
One thing I could not find to disable on Norton AV was "Smart Firewall." It was not in my NAV 2011.
Any other suggestions appreciated.

Hi, I would try this method and see if it works better. There is a link for FF(Firefox) If you don't use FF, ignore that. Also before you begin this procedure, I need to know what Anti-Virus/Spyware programs you have Installed. Some will block the Install of Flash Player and that needs to be taken care of first.
Download and SAVE to your Desktop the Uninstaller:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Download and SAVE to your Desktop the Installer for IE- use the EXE Installer
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
Download and SAVE to your Desktop the Installer for FF- use the EXE Installer for plugin based (from the same site)
Close all browser windows, you only want to be looking at your Desktop.
Disable any messenger services, as yahoo, msn, etc in the system tray(area near the clock)
Be sure to use the Administrator Account.
Run the Uninstaller and when finished, Reboot(restart) your computer.
Run the Installer for IE, Run the Installer for FF(If needed/used) and when finished, Reboot.
Then go to this test site and test each browser:

Apple Mobile Device Support Will NOT Install - Win 8 OS

I uninstalled EVERYTHING Apple...all folders, all apple software. I went through my computer and everything was removed. I did not go through the registry and remove anything so that may be where the problem is.
I looked in programs and features and there is no "Apple Mobile Device Support" installed.
It's as if it will not install, no matter what I do.
I think it may be a registry issue in Win 8 but not sure.
I have looked all over for a solution but to no avail. I uninstalled everything, reinstalled iTunes, I even tried to installed the .exe specifically for Apple Mobile Device Support and it rolled back, refusing to install it. I have tried updating drivers. My iPhone does show up in Task manager as well.
Under device manager, my iPhone
I follwed this >link< and did exactly what it said to do but still didn't work.
I have a feeling there is no solution to this one. Any other suggestions? Is there a way to remove more apple software including in the registry?
I appreciate any feedback. If anybody else has had this issue and have a proven method to resolve it, PLEASE share.
Thanks again!

I have the same problem with Win7. Did uninstall so many times now I can do it in my sleep. I did one thing which seemed to work for a while. After I uninstalled itunes 11, I reinstalled the earlier version. That brought back the Apple Mobile Device Support feature. Then I updated itunes to the latest version. Then I get the same message about amds not the latest version and uninstall itunes etc...(evern though when I check amds IS the latest version). It's a merry go round. Can't sync my iphone 4s or iPad 3. I finally got rid of itunes 11.1.1. Guess I just have to sit back and wait for a while until the new version comes out or until someone figures out a solution.

Itunes 12.1.0.71 will not install on win 7 error 1053

I have a BIG problem...cannot install 12.1.0.71...The install gets about 90% thru and then I get the error....Windows could NOT start Apple Mobile Device Services error 1053...The Service did not respond......after trying all the solutions I found online I called Apple support and paid 99$(which was not refunded) and two of their techs...the supposed top level Cathy...was unable to help....after two hours of work....they can remotely see and guide me as to what to try and it was mostly what was published online at apple support re how to really uninstall Itunes properly which we did about 6 times...and still it would not get past the "windows could not startt AMDS and errors 1053 and service did not respond and error 7 win error 193 and itunes helper not installed correctly....those later errors occur when you ignore that AMDS did not start...etc....
So I am kind of stuck....
Other things we tried....Disable Norton....Clean the registry using Norton Utilities....No other hidden Viruses around all clear on that....Win 7 totally updated....used the windows service that checks just about every kind of possible bug in system from the MS site...no help there...
In the whole process I lost the ability to restore to an earlier version that worked that disappeared off the restore calendar.
SO HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases.
Or roll back to the previous build:
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)

I have PIXMA MG5320 and I am running Win 8. Software cd does not install. I want to scan, but having trouble.
I insert USB stick into USB port on the printer.
I select SCAn and then select USB. I select " <i>" key. I do not find any data on the USB stick.
What gives?
I cannot install the software on Windows 8

Hi jvandal,
The CD that came with the PIXMA MG5320 does not include Windows 8 drivers and softare, so you would have to download the drivers and software from our website. Use the following steps to download the drivers and software:
Go to Canon's Support & Drivers website at:
http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer
Enter your model name into the Model Name field, then click GO.
Select your operating system in the Select Operating System and Select OS Version dropdown lists, respectively.
Expand the Drivers section by clicking the red triangle.
Click on the file named MG5300 Mini Master Setup.
After reading the details and disclaimer, click 'I Agree Begin Download' and save the file to your computer.
Once the download is complete, double-click the file from its download location to begin the installation.
Once complete, click the I Decline Go Back to return to the download page.
Expand the Software section by clicking the red triangle.
Click on the file named MP Navigator EX Ver 5.0.0.
After reading the details and disclaimer, click 'I Agree Begin Download' and save the file to your computer.
Once the download is complete, double-click the file from its download location to begin the installation.

Trying to Perform an install of SCSM 2012 SP1 - SQL Analysis Services Not Installed

I'm performing a clean install of System Center Service Manager 2012 on a Windows 2012 server. The prerequisite checker told me the Analysis Objects were not installed. I clicked the link and downloaded the SQL Server 2008 R2 Analysis
Management Objects. I restarted the install and it still says it's not installed. I also tried installing the 2012 version of the objects and still no luck.
I also tried installing both the x86 and x64 versions of these tools.
I have also tried the same install on a Windows 2008 R2 server and had the same error. I'm convinced this is a bug in the setup.
Has anyone else seen this? Is it a known issue?

Try to check the log file SCSMSetupWizardxy.log under C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp
perhaps it could not load Microsoft.AnalysisServices.dll assembly.

can you confirm if that assembly exists in the Assembly folder.
on a side note: SCSM 2012 SP1 supports 2008 R2 SP1 or above, and double check that the account you are using to install the SM is a local admin.

Offline install of Windows 7 SP1 not recognised by Windows Update

Hi
I have asked this question over at the Windows Community forum, and someone suggested that I ask here.
This question regards Windows 7 and Service pack 1
I bought a couple of new computers, and decided to use the offline SP1 installation on each to get the computers up to date when I first configured them.
So I downloaded the offline update iso from Microsoft, created a DVD and installed SP1.
After configuring my computer, I then connected windows update to get all fixes etc since SP1.
To my dismay windows update has presented me with a list of *all* updates, including SP1.
Is there any way of getting Windows update to recognise the fact that I already have SP1 installed?
Further info:
This is the procedure I went through.
1) Built the computers
2) Installed Windows 7
3) Installed hardware device drivers
4) Installed SP1 from DVD
5) Connected to the internet
6) Activated Windows
7) Used Windows Update
8) Installed the fix/patch required for windows update to work
9) re-connected to windows update
10) Was dismayed at the list of fixes requiring download. (around 148)
After going through the process of downloading the updates, at around the time of the second re-boot, the list of updates included Service Pack 1.
AV Software was going to be the next thing to install, after the computer was *fully* patched
Further Further informatio :)
I have since gone ahead and installed Windows on my second computer.
I'm still interested in finding a solution for future reference.
After installing Windows7 and applying the offline SP1 update, I checked to see what updates were installed before
activation and connecting to windows update.
These are the updates listed.
1) Service Pack 1 for Windows 7 (KB976902)
2) Update for MS Windows (KB976902)
3) User Mode Driver framework V1.11 (KB2685813)
4) KB958488 (the list just haqd the kb number, no title)
5) Hot Fix for Windows (KB2505454)
My original question, and the answers/feedback can be viewed at the following page:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_update/offline-install-of-windows-7-sp1-not-recognised-by/e8ab61d0-8669-4297-acfd-4acc0da8c1dc?rtAction=1427893878897

Hi Daz,
You mentioned that the SP1 prompted again in the needed updates, I suspect that that is not the full service pack, it is only some changes to existing non-security content, appropriate 10 MB size. you can check the size of the update to confirm
this.
See more information in this link
http://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/894199
And after you have manually installed the updates offline, have you checked whether these updates are listed in the "installed updates", or in Update history? And you can check the new detected updates, whether they have been successfully installed
in your system. Meanwhile, when you check for updates online, please check your Windows Update settings, we recommend you to check for important updates, not optional updates or hotfix. You can install the optional update or hotfix when you need it in the
future.
Regards
