Windows Update for SP1 Fails with Error 80070034

[WayneH]

Hello,

I have tried for over 1 month to install the SP1 for Vista update. Each
time it fails with an error code of 80070034. Of which I can't find any
information about. I did find this error code referenced but not for Vista
but an actual post from 2006.

The three updates Vista attemps to install are:
Security Update for Windows Vista (KB941693)

Security Update for Windows Vista (KB948590)

Update for Windows Vista (KB938371)

Any ideas on where I should look for a fix?

Thank you,

Wayne

Did Windows Update offer Vista SP1 to this machine or did you attempt to
install it manually?

Did Windows Update offer KB941693, KB948590, and KB938371?

Unlimited installation and compatibility support for Vista SP1 is available
at no charge through 18 Mar-09
