Win7 SP1 says it both succeeded and failed...?

Apparently installing Win 7 SP1 was both "not successful" and "completed successfully".

Relatively recent x64 clean install (1 month ago) using SP1 offline 900 MB package, appeared to work, but popped up this interesting message when completed. Windows Update still shows SP1 as available to install.

Any ideas what it means?

What you see there is after I clicked "show details". It showed the error message DS_S_SUCCESS and a zero error code.

It doesn't show SP1.

What on earth does it mean that it both succeeded and didn't succeed, with an "error code" being DS_S_SUCCESS?

Well the "operation completed successfully" is a standard system message, that's why it shows up there. Whatever the last thing it did (or last recorded doing) succeeded, even though the installation itself failed. Basically, that message is from a sub-process, and not to reflect the entire process.

There seems to be a couple fixes for this message.

1. Updating drivers

2. installing via Windows update.
