"Windows Vista Service Pack 1 cannot be installed because it does not apply to your system"

i got the same error even on a fresh installation.

I think Vista SP1 will not install in RTM or any other product other than the final release.

no i aint mixing up X86 & x64.just view the attachment.it contains the EULA released by ms.SP1 is a 684.711MB dl.i've just integrated it into a Vista Ultimate ISO which i'll try and install later tonight.

if any1 can come up with any ideas to install SP1.....

The file size is correct, but where from u got it? Check the digital signature, since right now it is in very limited beta, it should be signed

i've just installed it in my pc.all i had to do was to set the regional/language settings to English(US) and then the installation went smoothly.

i don't think that vista sp1 has been launched.

for all the ppl who doubt that Vista SP1 aint available heres the screenshot:
