Vista Service Pack 2 installs 64-bit (KB948465) / Service pack has not been installed - Code 80070005 - Windows Update encountered an unknown error

I have never had a problem with my computer before updating. I looked at various sites in regard to this problem and have noticed that a lot of people's problems with this update. Windows Installer Clean Up tool has failed. I also tried to install this through my anti-virus and that didn't work either. It is a complete mystery. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you
