Since installing Windows 7 RTM I have been slowly reinstalling all of my development programs. The only one that has given me a fit has been SP1 for Visual Studio 2008. The base program installed just fine, but SP1 failed every time. Even after trying some suggestions I saw while searching, nothing worked. But, earlier today I finally found success. Prior to firing up the install for SP1, run the following from the command line (make sure you fire up the command prompt as an administrator.
reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SQMClient\Windows\DisabledSessions /va /f
After running this command, SP1 installed with no issues.

I’m pretty much impressed with the stability of Windows 7. It is better than windows Vista which hogs my memory and cpu.~”‘
