Installing Windows 7 RSAT Tools on Windows 7 SP1

From: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itproSP/thread/0d763f12-30f8-4d13-8534-315d5c34dd0d

Problem: The Windows 7 RSAT package is made for the Windows 7 RTM version and does not install on Windows 7 SP1

Solution: Manualy extract and install the package, bypassing the version check

expand -f:*.* amd*
pkgmgr /n:.Windows6.1-KB958830-x64.xml

While no output is send to the screen, this does install in the background. After a few minutes the RSAT options are added to the add/remove functions section.
