I tried the SFC tool and a long list of repairs were done, but Updates still doesn't work, the same error code.
Well, at least I learned a new tool.
Thank you.

Hi there, things are now not looking good.
Desperate, perhaps try "SFC" = System File Checker.
To assist you - these articles provide information that may help
How to analyze the log file entries that the Microsoft Windows Resource Checker (SFC.exe) program generates in Windows Vista
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228
Some Windows Vista functions may not work, or Windows Vista may stop responding

Please note: If files require replacing SFC will replace them. You'll need to Vista DVD as you may be asked to insert the same to continue the process.
Naturally you'll need to run the command as an administrator.
Good luck.
Before trying anything I would back up any important data just in case.

Yes, you are right, "upgrading" from Windows Vista to Windows Vista is not really an upgrade.
How can I do a repair installation?
The "upgrade" option is disabled and the other option reinstalls Windows completely. I'm leaving this option for the last one.

Did you try the *repair* installation?
Okay step 7 mentions "upgrade", it's just part of the steps to repair the installation.

Yes, I did.
Look at step 7.
"To perform a repair installation of Windows Vista or of Windows Server 2008, follow these steps:
1.. Close all applications, and then restart the computer.
2.. Insert the Windows Vista DVD or the Windows Server 2008 DVD in the computer's DVD drive.
3.. In the Setup window, click Install Now.
Note If Windows does not automatically detect the DVD, follow these steps:
1.. Click Start
Collapse this imageExpand this image
, and then type Drive:\setup.exe in the Start Search box.
Note The Drive placeholder is the drive letter of the computer's DVD drive.
2.. In the Programs list, click Setup.exe.
3.. In the Setup window, click Install Now.
4.. Click Go online to obtain the latest updates for installation (recommended).
5.. Type the CD key if you are prompted to do this.
6.. Click Yes to accept the Microsoft Software License Terms.
7.. On the Which kind of installation to you want? screen, click Upgrade.
8.. When the installation is complete, restart your computer, and then try to install the updates."
