RE: Vista SP1: failed installation

OK, KB935509 installed and KB937287 installed, but Windows Update keeps
asking to install KB938371 and fails to install KB938371 at every attempt. I
have Windows Vista Ultimate (originally installed from a DVD), so I thought I
did not need KB938371.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
edsager
