It's funny that a vendor for something that's so fundamentally, utterly dull and un-ninja like calls itself Ninja Trader

installed sp1 last night and no programs so far so I'm happy with it i guess. I don't know why it's needed but I'll take the update for now lol

There seem to be a lot of people complaining that Windows 7 SP1 has messed up their iTunes. See the comments here Another example is at sevenforums

I've let it install twice now, both times I had to stoop to a system restore, my poor lappy was v v po'ed. To attempt again would only confirm my insanity, something I need no further assistance with.

Try downloading and installing the full version, that worked for me.

That reminded me, I tried to let the update install the first time but it balked, so I got the download version, and it sent my system off into lala land. It could not start most applications, said they didn't exist or couldn't find, even when double-clicking the .exe itself. The second time, it installed on its own, I hadn't noticed it got itself selected.

The error I got when it failed install on the update was one of those with about 20 known causes, sub-categories, hybridized, crossed,folded-spindled-mutilated mutations. So I did a restore
