vista update error

Hi I have vista ultimate 64bit.
I'm trying to install sp1 but get 0x800F0823 error everytime.
Any ideas?
I am having to do this seperately from windows update. That doesn't even
show sp1.
It keeps saying I need to install kb933928 but that fails everytime.
Regards
Simon

Has Windows update offered SP1 yet? If not, I wouldn't attempt to install
it manually yet.

Hello Simon,

0x800F0823
When you use a script to install the .msu update package, the installation
fails. When this problem occurs, the Wusa.exe process returns error code
0x800f0823

Update for Windows Vista to improve the product activation and validation
process

I'd recommend calling 1-866-pcsafety if you are in the U.S. or Canada.
Elsewhere, call your local Microsoft subsidiary, or the number for paid
support in your locale--and ask for the free help with virus or
security-patch related issues. This help extends to spyware removal as well.

If you /clearly/ state that a specific update (eg. KB933928) has caused
problems and don't ask any other questions, you /should/ receive No Charge
support for the issue.

Good luck

Hi Simon,

I knew there was a piece of that question that I forgot to get to...

Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (All Languages)
<https://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?ln=en-us&prid=11274&gprid=500921>

Free unlimited installation and compatibility support is available for
Windows Vista, but only for Service Pack 1 (SP1).

This support for SP1 is valid until March 18, 2009.

Availability of chat or e-mail support differs depending on your geographic
location.
For customers residing in North America or Canada, chat and e-mail support
is available.


Good luck
