I can't seem to install SP1 with Vista Home Basic and receive the error code 80073712.

I can't install SP1 with Vista Home Basic.  I get an error code 80073712.  I tried to install the system update readiness tool and it tells me that my system does not apply to it.  I know that I must have a file corrupted or damaged somewhere but don't know where. I'm confused. Can someone help me?

Moved from Vista to install, upgrade and activate Forum.

Original title: installation of SP1
