error 80073712 when installing KB905866

Hi there,

I am having problems installing a update for Vista.

I am running Windows Vista Home Rremium, I am trying to install the update
for Windows Mail Junk E-mail Filter [March 2008] (KB905866) and recive the
following error.

Installation status: Failed
Error details: Code 80073712
Update type: Recommended

Thanks for any help

Gregg

ERROR_SXS_COMPONENT_STORE_CORRUPT. Windows Update file corruption.
Deleted the file pending.xml under C:\windows\winsxs

IF that does not resolve the error, download, save, and then install
Windows Update Agent 3.0 For 32Bit [x86] Windows
http://download.windowsupdate.com/v7...gent30-x86.exe

IF the Verision of Vista is 64 Bit [x64] or a message appears that it is
already installed, add this to the end of WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe

/wuforce

use the 64 Bit link if Vista 64 Bit is installed from this article or,
if the message appears, use the steps laid out to add /wuforce:
