Vista error code 80004002

On my 4 month old computer Vista always says I have updates to install on
shutdwon and then never seems to successfuly install them. I have tried the
windows update and I just get the error code 8000402. AFter searching for
fixes I tried re-registering the dll files (as administrator) and that does
not seem to help. I tried to install the latest windows update installer (32
bit) but when I try to run it it says " installer encountered an error
0x.8000402 no such interface supported.
What do I try next?

Note when reinstalling Windows Update Agent - save it to a drive where Vista
is not loaded because the file cannot be launched directly from the system
root directory.
Click Start, click Run, type: "D:\WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe /wuforce"
(without quotations) and then press Enter to install the Windows Update
engine.

Note: There is a space between "D:\WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe" and
"/wuforce"

D: is the drive where Windows is not installed (ie a flash drive or a 2nd
hard drive etc)

Error code 0x80004002 is triggered when registry keys for Wups2.dll are
missing. This error code may also be triggered when additional keys are
missing. By registering the Windows Update file and the other .dll files
that are listed in Method 1, you make sure that any additional keys are also
registered.

Error message when you try to install updates by using the Windows Update or
Microsoft Update Web site: "0x80004002"
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/956708
See method 1 where it refers to Vista - If you are running Windows Vista or
Windows Server 2008, follow these steps ....... etc.
