Vista - Why cant I install service pack 1?

Reason for wanting to install service pack 1 :




The Problem:
My windows Update tells me there are no more important updates only optional ones.

I checked the optional updates and there is nothing in there that has to do with service pack 1.

So i downloaded "Windows6.0-KB936330-X86-wave0.exe" that installs service pack 1

Execute it and it starts out all fine as if it was working.


After a while this shows up.



I've Checked with the microsoft site and tried closing programs, restarting then running it as soon vista starts, but nothing....

I hope i can fix my problem with help from you guys.

If suggestions from post 2 don't help reset the whole WU components (use aggresive mode) How do I reset Windows Update components?
You can also try this An update is available to fix a Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) crash on a Windows Vista-based computer

I tried it and when i go to the service window there is nothing that says "automatic updates". So i cant right click it and press stop.

That didnt work either tries both and nothing. Reset the WU (agressive) and non agressive.

Then tried the (BITS).. the programsays "(BITS) repair is not required currently."

In Vista the service name "Windows Update" -this article is old but because you tried reset whole WU (KB971058) which do already automatically the problem must be in another thing.

Try below:

Run cmd.exe with administrative previlliges (right click on cmd.exe) as admin and type:

sfc /scannow

When it finish type in cmd.exe

findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log >%userprofile%\Desktop\sfcdetails.txt

on your desktop appear sfcdetails.txt

Download firegenul Altair Technologies Ltd.
place firegenul.exe in C:\Windows\System32

next again run cmd.exe with admin previlliges and type:

firegenul

it creates report from WindowsUpdate.log and is stored in C:\Windows\System32 as FireGenReport.htm

Download and run Readiness Tool Description of the System Update Readiness Tool for Windows Vista, for Windows Server 2008, and for Windows 7
