This article provides a solution to an error that occurs when you install the Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT).

Original product version: Windows 7 Service Pack 1
Original KB number: 2517239

One of the most common false positive cases we see from a support perspective is a situation where Nexpose reports a vulnerability because a specific patch is not installed, but when you try to apply the patch, the system will not let you install it and says the patch is not applicable. Tech support scams are an industry-wide issue where scammers trick you into paying for unnecessary technical support services. You can help protect yourself from scammers by verifying that the contact is a Microsoft Agent or Microsoft Employee and that the phone number is an official Microsoft global customer service number.

Symptoms

When installing the Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 7 (RSAT), you may receive the following error message:

'This update is not applicable to your computer'

Cause

This error will occur if you attempt to install RSAT after installing Service Pack 1 for Windows 7. The RSAT tools are designed for the RTM version of Windows 7 and are not compatible with Service Pack 1. However, Service Pack 1 includes updated components for RSAT, so if RSAT is installed before Service Pack 1, the issue will not occur and the components will be updated automatically.

Resolution

Install RSAT tools before installing Service Pack 1 for Windows 7. If Service Pack 1 for Windows 7 is already installed, it can be uninstalled and then reinstalled after the RSAT tools are installed.

More information

Microsoft has confirmed this to be by design, as RSAT was designed for Windows 7 RTM version. A newer version of RSAT is slated to be released in the future.
