service pack update ver. 1.1 fails everytime for vista 32

My pc always prompts me of a critical update, service package version 1.1 for
vista. Every time I try to install the update, of coarse, always fail to
install and give me an error code 643. Hopefully somebody knows how to fix
this problem and can help me out.

Is Microsoft Updates offering you Vista Service Pack 1.1 or some other
program on your computer? A quick Goggle search returns only suspicious
non-Microsoft references to Vista Service Pack 1.1.

Don

Is there any chance that a beta build of Vista SP1 is installed?

Unlimited installation and compatibility support for Vista SP1 is available
at no charge through (but only through) 18 Mar-09:

I finally got mine to install after 7 failed attempts...heres what I did.

1. go to http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/290301
2. download and install the utility
3. use it to uninstall the Windows Installer configuration information for
all of your .NET Frameworks listed when you run the program. this program
just removes the interfering configuration files which are causing the error
code #643, NOT the actual .NET Frameworks being used by your system so you
won't need to re-download or re-install them :-)
4.*optional- clean your registry(I did)
5. reboot your computer
6. now install v. 1.1
