Windows Search 4.0 for Windows Vista x64 installation failed

I downloaded the Windows Search 4.0 for Windows x64-based Systems (KB904157)
through Windows Update. The download completed and initiate the install
process. The process went through configuring updates: Stage 2 of 3 100%
complete. Once this stage completed, my computer rebooted. Upon booting up
Windows, the Windows configuration initiate and completed Stage 3 of 3 and
initiated another reboot. Once this reboot completed, windows booted up and
appeared to be checking or scanning windows registry...once it completed, i
received a message indicating the following: Updates were not configured
correctly, reverting changes. Do not turn off your computer. This update
failed to installed....any suggestions on how to get this update to install.

Are you currently running Vista SP1?

I'm having the same problem and am running Vista 64 Ult w/SP1. So far
MS support has come up with nada, well 3 pages of "try this" with no
change.

Yes, I am running Vista Ultimate 64-Bit with SP1 installed.

Did you install SP1 manually or via Windows Update?
