Vista SP1 goes through all the install machinations for an hour before finally declaring that it will not install and directs me to this website. Of course nothing on that page they offer is of any value and fixes nothing.
Thanks for any suggestions you guys/gals might have.
Did Windows Update offer you Vista SP1 or are you attempting to install it manually?
Error message when you try to install Windows Vista Service Pack 1: "Installation was not successful" or "An internal error occurred while installing the service pack" http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947366

I was attempting to install it manually.... actually downloaded the full boat SP1 install, 440 MB or so.... I had been waiting for Windows Update to offer it from within of course, but with Vista crashing BSOD numerous times per day, and just generally all around having been a nightmare OS, I thought going ahead now manually might repair some of the daily headaches.
Additionally, going to the Microsoft website to purchase SP1 on DVD was met with typical Microsoft ineptitude, as the very link they provide to purchase the DVD is a non-working link. So typical.
Listen I genuinely appreciate the response and the help... so please don't take this as aimed at you or really anyone in particular, but my god this operating system is a COLOSSAL debacle. I am an advanced computer user, very savvy, keep everything absolutely up to date, run antivirus / anti-malware / etc. regularly, keep my drivers and software up to date, etc. etc. Vista is just plain and simple a complete travesty and should have never ever been released to the public.
Rant over. Very sincerely, thanks for the help and the direction. I'll keep plugging along and if I arrive at the solution, I will for sure post it.
1. I would not recommend installing SP1 manually unless and until it's offered by Windows Update.
2. Upgrading any software in hopes of fixing an existing problem (especially a BSOD problem) usually is not a wise idea. 9 times out of 10, doing so only makes it that much harder to fix the problem.

Many here agree with those sentiments, Tim.

I'm having similar trouble myself. However, windows update is automatically telling me to install it. It's went through the very long install process twice and has given me the same response. Then is spends another 30 minutes reverting back. I have an error code for the installation failure and can't find any info on it: Code 80004005. Any recommendations? It's driving me nuts.... and I'm also somewhat savy with these things, but this is a new one for me. Hope technet comes out with a solution soon. Dan

Jan Siento no poder ayudar. Han abandonado por completo con mi copia de Vista y preguntando a la Microsoft por mi dinero.
Muy feliz ahora con "Ubuntu" Linux.
