I get error Code 80070002 when I try to install Service Pack 1.

Vista will not be updated to the Service Pack 1 or 2

I have Vista and have windows automatically updates.  Of course, it is never updated with the Service Pack 1 or 2, and when I go to Windows updates, it says I have no updates available.  Recently I had trouble with my anti-virus software, and they said it was because my computer has not been updated.  I didn't know that I was not common.   However, I get error Code 80070002 when I try to install Service Pack 1, so SP2 cannot be downloaded until I get this one.  I tried everything I could find as an aid, but they were especially when people had problems years ago, when it came out.  What can I do?

Hi kimber222,

If these steps are not successful, the next step is and InPlace upgrade. This process is an alternative to reinstalling the operating system. During the process, some of your custom Windows settings may be lost.

Run a repair installation will restore your current install of Windows to the version of the installtion CD/DVD. You will have to reinstall all the updates that are not included on the CD/DVD.

Although this process should not damage files and the applications installed on your computer, it is always safe to make sure that you have a recent backup of your data and how to reinstall all software you have installed.

Fill out the next step for the InPlace upgrade:

  1. Close all open applications.
  2. Insert the Windows Vista CD/DVD intot he computers CD/DVD drive.
  3. In the windows installation program, click install now.

Note If Windows does not automatically detect the DVD, follow these steps:

Click on start and type Drive: \setup.exein the box to start the search.

Note The placeholder drive is the drive letter of the computer's DVD.

List programs, click Setup.exe.

In the settings window, click install now.

1. click on connect to get the latest updates for installation (recommended).

2. type the CD key if you are prompted to do so.

3. Select the operating system in the "Windows Installer" page you want to update or Inplace.

4. click Yesto accept the Microsoft software license agreement.

5. on the which type of installation you want? of the screen, click upgrade.

6. when the installation is complete, restart your computer.

    If there is no anti-virus installed on your computer, it is likely infected. You need to clean it up before you can install an antivirus and certainly you don't want to try to install a Service Pack on an infected computer.

    You need to clean it up first.

    If you can't do the work yourself (and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea), take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). Please be aware that not all shops are skilled at removing malware, and even if they are, your computer may be so infested that Windows will have to be properly installed.

    Hello

    1. is that the copy of windows is enabled?

    2 is the issue limited to the installation of a security update Cumulative for Internet Explorer 9 for Windows Vista (KB2699988)?

    I suggest to perform the steps in the following article and check.

    Method 1: run the Windows update troubleshooting tool and check.

    The problem with Microsoft Windows Update is not working http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/windows_update/

    Method 2: I suggest you to put the computer in a clean boot state and check if Windows update installs successfully.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
