Error Code 80070750 when Installing Vista SP1

Hello Everyone,

I am attempting to update through Windows Update Vista Service Pack
1. When attempting to install, I receive the Error Code 80070570. I
have found one other thread out on the Internet with the same problem,
but no solution. Has anyone found a solution to this problem? Maybe
a better place to start is how can I find out more debugging
information, to find out what the real issue is?
Thanks.

Thank you for giving me the suggestions, but I successfully got it to
work! I looked into the Event Manager, and there was an Error there.
I read the message in the Event Viewer, and it spoke of an error
happening during update: Reboot Your Computer.
Helpful mesage, I thought. So, I rebooted my computer, and went to
bed. In the morning, when I woke up, it had installed, so it seems to
have done the trick. One thing that I am curious about, though is
that I had shut down my computer two times already since I had been
trying to install Windows Vista SP1. What happens in the Windows
Vista Reboot that does not happen during the shutdown process?
Shouldn't this be the same?
