Winver says:

Version 6.0 (Build 6001: Service Pack 1) // 2nd line

I uninstalled SpyBot and I disabled SOPHOS while trying to install the
updates.

I'm just telling you what the error number means and it means
ERROR_SXS_ASSEMBLY_NOT_FOUND, despite the results of running SFC.

Is your Sophos AV subscription current? What third-party firewall is
installed (if any)? Were any of these applications running in the
background and/or was Spybot Tea Timer and/or SDHelper enabled when you
installed SP1?

Has a Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on this machine
(e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought it)?

Start | Run | (type) winver | OK

Please post the contents of the entire second line of the About window.
Please be careful not to make any typos.

PS: You do NOT want to install IE8 RC1 with the machine in its current
state!!

WinSxS seems not to be the problem. Running sfc /scannow found no error.
Sophos (anti virus) and Spybot were both turned off - no improvement. It
is
a Dell Computer with Vista preinstalled, SP1 was installed later as an
update from the web.

I also cannot install Internet Explorer RC1. It seems the computer no
longer
knows how to perform an update.

The referenced assembly is not installed on your system.

SP1 can not find an assembly in WinSxS that is required for the update(s)
to install. Try running sfc /scannow to see if that resolves the issue:

Did SP1 come preinstalled on the machine when you purchased it, did you
install it via Windows Update, or did you choose to install it manually?
Any chance you manually installed a beta build of SP1?

Or did you upgrade (directly) to Vista SP1?

Or have you had occasion to reinstall Vista?
