Windows Vista fails to install KB952069

For 3 weeks now, Vista has been trying to install KB952068.
I am running Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1.
Every time I run it, it fails with:
"Code 8024200D Windows encountered an unknown error"

Event Viewer -> Custom Views -> Administrative Events shows:
"Windows Servicing identified that package KB952069(Security Update) is not
applicable for this system

952069-1_neutral_LDR from package KB952069(Security Update) into

Clearly this update is applicable to my system, otherwise Windows wouldn't
have kept trying for the past 3 weeks.

Any ideas, anybody?
