service pack 2 download the 8007371C error message

What should I do to get this service pack to download? Suggestions please. I tried 3 times now and has failed every time.

The only thing I can say is that you perform a repair - installation

Run a repair installation will restore the current installation of Windows to the version of the installation DVD. This also requires the installation of all the updates that are not included on the installation DVD.

Note Run a repair installation will not damage files and applications that are currently installed on your computer.

To perform a repair of Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008 installation, follow these steps:

  1. Close all applications and restart the computer.
  2. Insert the Windows Vista DVD or Windows Server 2008 DVD into the DVD drive of the computer.
  3. In the settings window, click install now.

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

    1. Click Start and type Drive: \setup.exe in the box start the search .

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

    2. In the list of programs , click Setup.exe.
    3. In the settings window, click install now.
  4. Click connect to get the latest updates for installation (recommended).
  5. Type the CD key if you are prompted to do so.
  6. Click Yes to accept the Microsoft software license agreement.
  7. On the which type of installation do you want? of the screen, click upgrade.
  8. When the installation is complete, restart your computer and try to install the updates again

NB: As you already have SP1 for Vista - step 7 (method for Windows Vista), the * UPGRADE option is not available because SP1 has been installed. http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/948537

Make sure that you back up your important things first. Then run Windows Update to catch up on all the updates up to SP2.

When you're offered SP1 install, then continue until you're offered SP2 and then install it. I hope that all is well.

Uninstall SP1
