Greetings Kevin,

This appears to be a bug and should be fixed in the next service pack
whenever it becomes available. There is a workaround to avoid that error.
Open the command prompt and type:

net stop spooler

Then run the Network Setup Wizard. After the Network Wizard completes the
setup, then open the command prompt and type:

net start spooler
