I'm having the same problem with KB938371 not installing that so many
others have complained about. However, the error message I'm getting is
not the one most have been getting. Instead of error code 80073712, I'm
getting error code 80073715.

I've downloaded the update package from MS. Whether I try to install
from the update package or from Windows Update, the result is the same.
It starts to install, but fails to complete the installation.

This is a Dell Inspiron 1720 Notebook running Windows Vista Home Premium.

This is very annoying since this update is required before SP1 can be
installed. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
