Windows 7 SP1 Won't Install
When trying to install I get this error. I had to download the .exe from microsoft's site because Windows Update keeps failing while trying to download it. What's going on?

What does:
sfc /scannow
... reveal. Mine said no errors and 100% validated. I haven't installed SP1 yet (or even tried).

ran sfc /verifyonly - reported some errors
ran sfc /scannow - repaired some issues - some could not be fixed
rebooted
ran windows update --> check for updates - this now displayed the install for kb947821 (validation tool)
installed the validation tool
rebooted
selected the sp1 update - installed sp1 successfully
****NOTE: the download appeared to hang at 24% for about 5 to 10 min. on mine - be patient it eventually started chugging right along (i believe it is not only downloading but also verifying system)
@ Teegale

If the online version doesn't work, try the full (big) downloadable standalone version.
If it still doesn't work, and you have ever used Driver Sweeper on your machine ... see this:

I haven't read it all, but it sounds like early versions of Driver Sweeper might have been a little too aggressive.
