This might help;

As always, you should make sure that you have got a working system restore
point before you run any test, download or install a new game, application,
or software update, you make changes to your computer.


I would suggest staying on the side of caution... Use System Restore to Undo
Changes if Problems Occur

Reboot into Safe Mode (F-8)
In safe mode, some of the protective services which these programs use to
ensure that they aren't removed, are not running, so they are easier to
remºve.

Getting into Windows Safe Mode.

Delete files and folders on C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download and try
again the installation after a reboot.


Its OK to delete the items in the Download folder, but NOT the download
folder itself.

Reboot to normal.

I have this error with windows update from the installation of Vista even
though I have administrator rights. I emptied the temporary folders and the
WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download folder.
Please advise me.
