Error code 0x80070490 immediately after running Vista SP1

Hi,

I am trying to update my laptop to windows Vista SP1.

I am using the standalone installer but each time I try to run it as soon as
I click and accept the terms and conditions I get the Error message box with
the error code 0x80070490.

Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Thanks,

Nicolas

Is that the error that says you need to be logged into an admin account or
does it indicate that an internal error occured?

Has Windows Update offered Vista SP1 to the machine yet?...
