Sp1 install returns error that components are missing..help?

[mriviecc]

I've been trying to update using the win7 updater to Sp1. I've beeen able to get it downloaded but the installation fails shortly into the process returning a message saying that it cant proceed due to missing components. I've tried one potential fix which is to restore backuped fies from my last usage of driver sweeper, but that did not work. Anybody have any suggestions? Is there any other fix to this other than there recommended solution, which is to reinstall win7. Win7 has been running pretty flawlessly and i don't really want to reinstall the OS. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.
