I've been trying to install the SP1 for Vista and continually get the
80073712 error code at ~13%. I've tried to download and install the
standalone and it fails as well during install.

Installed fine on another computer, but this one just doesn't want to work:

Vista 32-bit home premium (upgrade)
intel core duo 2 2.4
4 gig ram
nvidia 8800 GTX

Any help or fixes would be appreciated!

Tried the http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821 update, but i'm on a 32-bit.

and the new Windows Update Agent didn't fix the issue either.

still the same error code when i try to install the sp1 (via windows update
or the standalone).

There's one for each version under 947821 -
32bit
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
Re-read the article and see the download links one for 32 bit and 64 bit. See instructions
on how to install.

Otherwise - Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (All Languages)
Unlimited installation and compatibility support is available at no charge until March 18,
2009.
https://support.microsoft.com/oas/de...4&gprid=500921
It's been confirmed that it's free for *anyone* having SP1 issues in Vista.

Please report back when you solve the problem as it will assist others.

You'll need to contact MS Support.
Please post back with the fix that MS suggests (that works) to help others.
