I think that this is the most significant error message from your log:

>> 2008-01-15 18:51:35:810 1220 79c DnldMgr FATAL: BITS service was not fixed up and thus CCI was not reattempted. (hr = 80080005)

Tell us what you get if you run (in a cmd window)

bitsadmin /util /version /verbose

On Vista you may have to open that window using Run As... Administrator
to get a complete report.

You may notice that there is also a /repairservice option for that command...


Good luck
