Error 0x80073afc "Resource Loader Failed to Find MUI" on hotfix

Hi,
I'm running Vista Business 64-bit, and I have had no major problems.
Recently, I downloaded a hotfix, and when I tried to install it came up with
error code 0x80073afc "Resource Loader failed to find MUI file". I searched
the net and found a solution saying to restart the computer a few times.
This did not work. I tried to clean up and make sure there were no
interfering programs as well. Another post said to deactivate windows
defender. I am not completely sure how to do this (I tried ending the one
process I saw that mentioned defender with no success). I read there may be
a way to manually install the hotfix without wusa using some sort of package
manager, and so if nothing else could someone advise me how to do this.

Thanks

I seem to share a common problem - Error 0x80073afc.

Having switched my Vista's Home Premium Portuguese Language (came with
the computer)to USA English through a MUI package the update module at
the contrl panel appeared blank and incomplete. After that the whole
system appears to be unstable and no updates are possible. I have tried
several possibilites but nothing appears to work.

At the same time the mouse/keyboard combo (Logitech) seems to drag on
whimsically and Logitech's Setpoint's software has to be uninstalled for
things to be kept runnng

I would wellcome a suggestion.
Many thanks
