0x80004005 = unspecified error - may occur because of programs/services
interfering in the background.

Usually disabling your anti-virus and any other active protection
will prevent the above from happening.


Try manually downloading and installing the problem update -

I updated the Vista laptop by downloading the full file and installing
offline with the antivirus turned off etc. and then I installed IE8.

As you see SP2 contains all the updates that were released since SP1, so by
downloading via AU you only get what you need, by downloading the full file
you have everything plus you have it if you want it for later if you require
it.

For Service Packs, I prefer to download the full file and then install
offline after preparing the system first.
