Yes thank you. The manual download worked.

If you temporarily disable Norton AntiVirus *and* disable the Norton
Firewall *and then* enable the Windows Firewall, will the update install?

Can you download & install it manually? => Download the installer from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=0F3D73D2-A9B2-4A7F-A817-9686983976FD,
SAVE it to your desktop, do not RUN it | Right-click on the saved file | Run
as Administrator | OK.

Are you sure this is the only update that's failing or has failed to
install?

=> Look in:

• Start | Settings | Control Panel | Programs and Features |
Installed Updates; or

• Windows Update | View update history

==========================

Are you sure you're not running Vista SP1?

Do you use a "Registry cleaner"?

Is your Norton Internet Security subscription current?

Are you having *any* other problems with this machine (e.g., redirected
Searches or webpages; "Page cannot be displayed" errors; cannot manually
update Norton AntiVirus)?

Read what MS Support suggested for another sufferer (didn't help this poster
though):
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsupdate/msg/b7635d514dcc0770

Unfortunately, every other poster here who's run into this error ended up
having to do an "inplace upgrade" (reinstall) of Vista to resolve the
problem.

FWIW, I would NOT be running a Norton application on a Vista machine or any
other machine.

What update?

Please state your full Windows version (e.g., Vista SP1; WinXP SP3).

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed? What
anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party
firewall
(if any)?
