Installing Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) on Windows 7 SP1

RSAT - Remote Server Administration Tools for me personally have become indispensable since their release by Microsoft. After I stumbled upon the problem of not being able to install them on Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 pre-installed - I had to clarify in Google, did Microsoft really not support them in this major update? The official answer is “wait for April”. Then I came across an article about the integration of this useful set of tools - a translator's note.

This article is presented as a draft. Use it only for experiments. There are no guarantees that you will earn everything that is written here.
When you try to install RSAT on Windows 7 SP1, you get the error:
"This update is not applicable to your computer" 


In Microsoft, this is commented on as follows:
It is too early!

I found a way to get around this on the MS blog and write about it:

If you have x64 Windows, replace in the "x86" commands with "amd64".
  1. unpack the RSAT x86fre_GRMRSAT_MSU.msu installer into the d: \ rsat directory
  2. Run the CAB unpacker:
     expand -f:* "D:\RSAT\Windows6.1-KB958830-x86.cab" "D:\RSAT\expand" 

  3. Download Service Pack 1 for Windows 7
  4. Unpack it with the command:
     windows6.1-KB976932-X86.exe /X:D:\Sp1 
    in catalog D: \ Sp1
  5. Unpack the CAB service pack:
     expand -f:* "D:\Sp1\windows6.1-KB976932-X86.cab" "D:\RSAT\sp1" 

    in the directory D: \ RSAT \ sp1.
  6. Install the RSAT components with the following commands one at a time (look at the end of the pkgmgr process in TaskManager):
     pkgmgr /ip /m:"D:\RSAT\expand\microsoft-windows-remoteserveradministrationtools-package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.1.7600.16385.mum" 

     pkgmgr /ip /m:"D:\RSAT\expand\microsoft-windows-remoteserveradministrationtools-package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~en-us~6.1.7600.16385.mum" 

    (replacing en-us with the language of our system - for Russian - ru-ru)
     pkgmgr /ip /m:"D:\RSAT\expand\microsoft-windows-remoteserveradministrationtools-package-minilp~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~en-us~6.1.7600.16385.mum" 

    (replacing en-us with the language of our system - for Russian - ru-ru)
     pkgmgr /ip /m:"D:\RSAT\Sp1\microsoft-windows-remoteserveradministrationtools-package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.1.7601.17514.mum" 

  7. Reboot the system (if asked) and open the "Add Windows Components", then tick the components we need
