6 of 11 updates just won't install

I received notification that there were 11 new updates so I installed them.
The machine was rebooted but instead of bringing up the login prompt it said
it was configuring the updates and then rebooted itself. When the machine
then booted for the second time I logged in only to find that 6 of the
updates were "available" again and had obviously not installed. So I went
through the whole process again and once again after 2 complete reboots
there are still 6 updates waiting to be installed.

How do I install these updates?

Same here. On 3 of my PCs with Vista. Glad to know others are having
it. I was worried it was a Windows Genuine issue even though my
copies are legit.

6 of the updates were only classified as important . 5 critical.
Your settings in update is set to only install critical updates.
In Windows Update change the settings to install all updates (if that is
what you wish to do)

No, that's not it at all. I have configured update to install all important
updates and the update history clearly shows that the 6 updates in question
have failed to install - repeatedly.

First step is to see why they failed.

What does it say in Windows Update?

Windows Update just says that they failed to install but this is from the
event log:

Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with
error 0x800f0826: Update for Windows Vista for x64-based Systems (KB933928).
Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with
error 0x800f0826: Update for Windows Vista for x64-based Systems (KB935280).
Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with
error 0x80070002: Security Update for Windows Vista for x64-based Systems
(KB935807).
Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with
error 0x800f0826: Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework, Version 2.0
(KB929916).
Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with
error 0x800f0826: Update for Windows Mail Junk E-mail Filter for x64-based
Systems [July 2007] (KB905866).
Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with
error 0x800f0826: Update for Windows Vista for x64-based Systems (KB936357).

So there seems to be a couple of reasons. Any ideas?

Same problem here. Obviously MS screwed this one up. I got most of the
updates to install by installing them one at a time and rebooting each
time. But 935807 won't install.

Yes, check what the error codes mean.
