There are a couple reasons, the most common being that you have a
language installed which isn't supported, or a driver which won't
upgrade properly.

If your problem is the first, you need to remove that language.

If your problem is the second, I believe the standalone installer will
still run, although I'm not entirely certain.

Give it a shot and see?

There are MILLIONS of Vista users, not every single one will get the
notice that it is available on the very first day, or even the very
first week. Give it time, it WILL come thru. Yes you can download it
directly from MS and install it yourself, it will work just fine. On
that page it says some people may not get notified until mid April or
so.

I ran into the same problem attempting to update my son's computer running
Vista. A resolution was offered in Windows Vista General Forum. I followed
that person's advice, and it worked like a charm.

Check out MowGreen's direction to follow Microsoft's
revelations/recommendations in the link he provided. Make certain all your
drivers are up to date, and everything that's important to you on your hard
drive is backed up. Take the time to make an image of your hard drive, just
in case. Then try what "e" suggests.

Here is his quote:

Assuming you are denied access to the simple Windows Update SP1 process,
though you appear to "pass" the published criteria, here's one way to find
out if the grass is really greener...

1. Back up all of your data files.
2. Create a Restore Point.
3. Download the 434MB 5-language file from http://tinyurl.com/32z6vj
4. Start > msconfig (as administrator).
5. Under Services tab, check the Hide all Microsoft services box.
6. Under Services tab, Disable all.
7. Under Startup tab, Disable all.
8. Reboot.
9. Install the SP1 download - expect 30-60 minutes with 2-3 reboots.
10. When complete, go to msconfig as administrator again, restore the
Services and Startups you wish to run, or under the General tab select
Normal startup.

You're finished.

If you encounter any conflicts, use msconfig to suppress the startup or
service causing it, and seek the latest driver, file, app, etc.

If you cannot get an updated file/app/driver that is compatible with SP1,
and you must have that function, roll back. Sorry...

No warranty with this advice, though I was successful on three
recalcitrant computers that should have updated the simple way, but
wouldn't. They run fine now, showing 6001. Good luck to you, and please
report here.

Here is a link for the stand alone:

I read somewhere that it will be available on Windows Update in a week. I
can't find the article. Sorry!

If it shows SP1, then it is installed. You're all set.
