Solution:

To mitigate this issue,

a.       from the extracted “WC_V7.0_-_FEP8_FOR_MP_ML” zip file, copy all sar files from \WC_V7.0_-_FEP8_FOR_MP_ML\developer\native\wc.toolkit.native.store-enhancements_7.0.8.20141114_0840\components\store-enhancements\starterstores to “/WCDE-Install-dir/starterstores”.

b.       And run the update using installation manager again.

NOTE: if “starterstores” directory is not there under /WCDE-install-Dir/ , create that directory
