Update Problem on Vista

This is my first Post in a forum so please bear with me.

I have had this same problem with WUA since April following two weeks with
no problems from having a new computer with 'Vista Home Premium' I also
cannot install many of the windows 'Live' Programs or Adobe acrobat and it
seems that these are all related to the same issue in the MS Software - It
started folowing an update around that time from MS. I am not a professional,
but can sort out if I know what to look for!
Like many other people with this error, I have tried all the recommended
fixes with no solution, I cannot also install SP1 as it comes up with WUA
installer encountered unrecoverable error, this despite following various
suggested fix's from this forum! I have only managed to install KB937287
manually as the other security updates start to look & then state 'this
update not for your system' or words to that effect. I hope that someone can
at least answer my query & maybe help.

I have just pasted the section of the log that seems to indicate where the
problem may lie?

Hi there, don't know if this is a help, I don't know what else you've tried -

CO_E_SERVER_EXEC_FAILURE
Decimal code: -2146959355
Hex code: 0x80080005
Error Type: CoCreateInstance Error
Comments: BITS service could not be started

Bits Repair Tool -

(Vista 32 bit/x86 )
or
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en
(Vista 64 bit/x64 version)

Unfortunately it appears yours issues are more than just WU as you mention can't install
other programs.

For SP1 there is assistance from MS available -
