Windows Update KB936330 Windows Vista SP1 fails error code 8004131

Windows update has attempted to install update KB936330 for Windows Vista SP1
eight (8) times on my computer since June 6! Each and every time my system
reboots after the 3rd stage of the install and an error message appears
stating the the update DID NOT install and changes are being reverted. The
update takes about and hour to download and install on my satellite internet
connection, but takes about an hour and a half to revert back after the
installation fails. According to my update history, the error code for the
failed download is 80041315. I have searched support (as suggested) for this
error code and no such code can be found. Also, all of the suggestions by
"support" are vague to say the least! I have gone to the support sites that
suggest I manually download the update...but I am confused about the language
part. I know that I have Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit on my computer.
After reading some of these posts of folks who have attempted to manually
download...I think I will not go that route just yet! At this point I am only
being nagged and inconvienced by Windows Update trying to unsuccessfully
install an update. I do not want to jeopardize damaging my computer as well!
I have also gone the email route to support about this issue and have not
gotten a reply! What I do not understand is: after a full month of this
update failing to install why does Windows Update continue to attempt the
installation? After seeing all of the problems it seems that everyone is
having with this update (and so many different error codes) I can only assume
that this is a problem on Microsoft and/or Windows Update's end. Why can't
this issue be resolved?

The update attempt is going to continue to happen until the update is
successful, you tell Windows Update to remove the update from the update
list, or you manually install the update successfully.

You might want to take the manual route and shutdown everything during
this update, like AV(s) anti-spyware(s), etc etc everything that could
interfere with the update.

I have had no problems with the updates on Windows Vista. Maybe, one or
two I took over manually and was successful in the installation of the
update.

The search results above all point to McAfee anti-virus problems with the
download of vista Service Pack 1.

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/935791/

Above(0ne of the ways supplied there) is download for 5 language(English
included) standalone version of SP1
Just scroll down and pick the 32bit version
It is 434 MBs.
Save it, and burn to a CD for the future!
Will save download time!

I did a manual download of SP1 with no problems. First, though, I made sure
all of the steps recommended by the 'before you download' page at MS were
done (all drivers updated, etc.). I also completely turned off my Norton
Internet Security 2008. The download didn't take as long as I thought it
would, and everything's been fine, since. (HP Pavilion Dual Core, Vista Home
Premium.)

Thanks to everyone who responded. It was indeed my McAfee Firewall that was
hindering the install. After disabling the firewall the update went through
without a hitch! But, ....It would have been very helpful if the error code
search had this information available instead of returning "no results
found". Also, a lot of undue stress could have been avoided if there was
something in the update alert stating to temporarily disable the firewall
before attempting to install in the first place! Then if there were actually
some helpful information found in the "get help" link next to the error code,
I might not have had to present my query here either. Because all other
updates previously executed on my computer through Windows Update have not
been affected by my firewall, I did not immediately think of this. Because
Windows Update said that the Update installed successfully before my computer
rebooted and then said the error failed after the very last stage that occurs
after reboot, I assumed that there was nothing hindering the download or
install on my end. I just find the entire process of the update and the
attempt to obtain support very frustrating and confusing. Although I am very
grateful to have found a solution to my problem here, I feel that consumers
should not have to go to these lengths to find solutions when problems occur!

Thanks again to everyone for your suggestions! Whew! Glad that's over! )

I am also having issues with Windows update trying to install Vista SP1 on my

constantly hounded to download this SP1 and it fails each time. HELP! My
vista was working just fine till this started.

Error Code 0x8024200D is:
SUS_E_UH_NEEDANOTHERDOWNLOAD
The installer requires more data to be downloaded

As you've been offered the SP1 package from WU then try a manual download and
installation. At least the advantage of the full file is that you can burn a copy of the
same and have it if ever you need it later without having to redownload the same.
