Error installing SQL 2008 SP1 in Windows 7 or Windows 2008 R2

If you receive the following error when installing SQL 2008 SP1 in Windows 7 or Windows 2008 R2

 

Invoke or BeginInvoke cannot be called on a control until the window handle has been created

 

This is a known issue with the installer and you have two options:

1. Rerun the service pack and you should be able to install it

2. The installer creates a directory  C:\{GUID} you can copy that folder (that contains setup.exe and the supporting files) to your desktop or a temporary folder and then install the service pack.
