SP2 fails error Code 80070002

I am plague with Vista Business update to SP2 with the error Code 80070002
I have performed all the "Get help with this error" suggestions. The System Update Readiness Tool has run and completed with no problem and I have tried installing SP2 from the stand alone download

Not much suspicious:

Remove below files and folders (some of them you may don't have already)

Folders directly from C:

4a28a48b03abef1763c23b
719aec5eeeaa0ef6e49d
372dca46bf5c44882f93b440be471718
5175a7f62897e808db2a


file SPC_SP2_Wave0.xml from C:\Windows\System32

all *.xml files from C:\Windows\WinSxS

empty folder C:\Windows\WinSxS\Temp

Besides open regedit find key HKEY_LOCALE_MACHINE\Components

and make sure you don't have any extra strings more which I showed below:

If you have any extra strings which I don't have then you have to remove them +restart

Then you remove these files & folders try again install SP2 in safe mode

Mostly cases this error relate to damages in C:\Windows\WinSxS folder,although issue with the data,time is also possible
from this MS advice The "Windows Features" dialog box is empty in Windows 7 or Windows Vista, or you receive error code "0x80073712" when you try to use Windows Update

check data and time and run sfc /scannow command

On MS is only this one Error when you download updates using Windows Update or Microsoft Update: 8000FFFF
-I mentioned about this in previous post

I thought from your first post your CheckSur.log was empty (without any errors),but from you error codes what you have it shouldn't.If nothing help Please
empty C:\Windows\Logs\CBS folder,run Readiness Tool again,next find in C:\Windows\Logs\CBS folder CheckSur.log file and attache to post.
Besides find in C:\Windows\System32\config folder COMPOPONENTS file,pack it to *.zip format and upload on rapidshare
