  Try to download and install manually by download on your desktop and install them one by one. Insert the number of KB to get updates on the right and choose the one corresponding to your version of Vista:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx.  If the error persists, temporariliy disable UAChttp://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/disable-user-account-control-uac-the-easy-way-on-windows-vista/ and your security software and try again and see if that helps.  If this isn't the case, re-enable the programs before you continue.
