Operation Aborted

Don't close this, SO is supposed to be a repository of useful information for programmers. If he'd written this as 'why does VS install abort' and then posted his own answer, would that have been better? - Will Dean
dude. Post it as a q & a like will says. - Preet Sangha
Agreed; post the answer separately to the question. I consider this sort of question acceptable, but it needs to be done in the right way. - Noldorin

while installing Visual Studio 2008 SP1 on Windows 7 RC 7100, run this as administrator:

reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SQMClient\Windows\DisabledSessions /va /f

Afterwards Visual Studio 2008 SP1 will install correctly.

I copied this from the original question, just to make it a proper question/answer... marked as community wiki

Download this update and install it before you install sp1 on to visual studio 08
