32-bit or 64-bit Windows Vista?

No service pack installed, SP1 installed or SP2 installed?

If 32-bit - have you tried resetting the Windows Update Components?

Another installation is already in progress. Complete that installation
before proceeding with this install.

Hi Andrea,

I should add, in addition to what others have (rightly) said,

Copied �esponse from Eddie Bowers [MSFT]

You may want to look at the following registy keys (via regedit)
If these keys were not cleared after an install it may appear that the
install is still in progress:

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contr ol\Session Manager"
PendingFileRenameOperations

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Cur rentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update"

Reboot Required

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\Upd ateExeVolatile"

-Eddie

Good luck
