Visual studio sp1 error: RiaServices.msi is unavailable


I'm have been trying to install the sp1 for visual studio 2010. I have first downloaded vm_web and Silverlight4_Tools, both of which seemed to install fine.

I tried to open VS2010 and got the error,

Only some of the Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 products on this computer have been upgraded to Service Pack 1. None will work correctly until all have been upgraded.

Then it shows a prompt to download and install SP1. I downloaded this file, ran the installer and solved the issue with finding the silverlight_sdk.msi file.

I cannot however resolve the issue with the RiaSerivices.msi file. I have trawled the net (apparently a common error) and tried

1) to download RiaServices.msi seperately and point to the file in the downloads folder. 2) I have also tried to move the RiaServices.msi file to the installation folder (in my case C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Temp\Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1_10.0.40219) as was suggested in another question

Still not working. The error I get is,

The file 'file path...' is not a valid installation package for the product WCF RIA Services V1.0 SP1. Try to find the installation package 'RiaServices.msi' in a folder from which you can install WCF RIA Services V1.0 SP1.

Any ideas?
