Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 installation failure ErrorCode 0

Hi,

The Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 will not install from Microsoft
Updates. When I click on the reason for falilure it says "Installation
Failure Error Code: 0x66A". How do I fix this so I can install the service
pack?

Thanks

The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service
because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade
patch may update a different version of the program. Verify that the
program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have
the correct upgrade patch.
