• Re-install Windows Vista Service Pack 1

  Hello, I have recently reinstalled my Windows Vista Home Premium.  Now I am trying to re - install Windows Vista Service Pack 1.

  I had to download it because I couldn't get by a Windows Update.  When I tried to install the Service Pack, I received the following error message: Error Code: 0x8000FFFF.

  I want to upgrade to Windows 7, and then to 10 Windows but I don't think I'll be able to update without Windows Vista Service Pack 1 and 2.

  Can anyone give me any help will be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you.

  I have been unable to install SP1 via windows updates but has been able to do it using the suggestions here:
  https://social.technet.Microsoft.com/forums/Windows/en-us/4120f8ff-ae6c-437f-A40D-8d48794d9841/services-Pack-1-for-Vista-Home-Premium-will-not-install?Forum=itprovistasp

  They include two tools running of Microsoft and then by installing SP1 downloaded in a boot environment. After finishing SP2, windows update has provided a new Windows Update Agent, which made it impossible to update. This is my 4th new installation disc from Dell, that started because of this same update to Windows Update Agent. I'm about to give up. If you try to install, I would set a restore point before doing so.
