Problem installing KB935509

[George P]

(KB935509 - A software update is available for versions of Windows Vista that
include the Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption feature)

I am having a problems installing the KB935509 update on a Vista Enterprise
system. Windows Updater is always unsuccessful - I have tried many times. I
have even downloaded KB935509 & installed manually -it says successful but if
I look under Control Panel/Installed Updates it is not listed there and
Windows Updater keeps coming back with a request to install.

This is very frustrating - I keep going around in circles. I understanding
that I will need this update to load Vista SP1 when available. Short of doing
a clean install of Vista is there anything I can do? Thanks in advance.
George.

Also, you can't use BitLocker if your mobo does not have a TPM. Mine
doesn't.

TPM makes using BitLocker easier, but is not a requirement. BitLocker does
work without TPM. You can use BitLocker without TPM.

Yes, you can. You can use a flash drive to store the key.

No, no, you CAN NOT enable BitLocker without a TPM.

Screenshot or it didn't happen you say?

Fine.

a TPM can provide the additional security of pre-startup system integrity

Sorry, but you're wrong here. You simply need to use gpedit.msc to enable
the use of a USB device to store the key.

Maybe YOU can't enable BitLocker without TPM, but for the rest of us it
works.

Can I use BitLocker on a computer without a TPM version 1.2?
Yes, you can enable BitLocker on a computer without a TPM version 1.2,
provided that the BIOS has the ability to read from a USB flash drive in the
boot environment. This is because BitLocker will not unlock the protected
volume until BitLocker's own volume master key is first released by either
the computer's TPM or by a USB flash drive containing the BitLocker startup
key for that computer. However, computers without TPMs will not be able to
take advantage of the system integrity verification that BitLocker can also
provide.

To help determine whether a computer can read from a USB device during the
boot process, use the BitLocker System Check as part of the BitLocker setup
process. This system check performs tests to confirm that the computer can
properly read from the USB devices at the appropriate time and that the
computer meets other BitLocker requirements.

To enable BitLocker on a computer without a TPM, use Group Policy to enable
the advanced BitLocker user interface. With the advanced options enabled,
the non-TPM settings appear in the BitLocker setup wizard. For instructions
about using Group Policy to enable the advanced user options, see
