Windows 7 Service Pack 1 Installation Problems?

I kept getting an installation error with Windows 7 Service Pack 1 with an error code of: 8024200D.

I tried the Windows Update Readiness Tool multiple times, as well as restarted my computer multiple times. None of that helped.

Finally, I found the download page, from where you can download the entire installation package (http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=5842). After downloading the almost 1GB package, I was able to finally get SP1 installed successfully.

The installers based on your platform are (you need to validate that you have a genuine copy of Win7):

windows6.1-KB976932-IA64.exe
windows6.1-KB976932-X64.exe
windows6.1-KB976932-X86.exe
