Hello,
I am having trouble with my Vista service pack 2 update. It seems to have downloaded, but fails when installing. I have had other updates download fine and install sucessfully but this one always fails. I believe it's been trying to install this update for some time, but i just noticed it recently. The details of the failure are as follows:
Windows Vista Service Pack 2 (KB948465)
Installation date: 7/24/2010 10:40 PM
Installation status: Failed
Error details: Code 80070490
Update type: Important

When I follow the links at the bottom of the report for help, the first one is a dead end that doesn't seem to apply to my situation and the second leads me to an option of downloading a "standalone" version of sp2. I don't know if I should try this or not. I'll copy some details:
