Hi Brandon, I have exactly the same issue with this two updates with exactly
the same error message. I've been communicating with Microsoft regarding this
for already two months, we tried a lot of things and nothing helped. The only
two things that they recommended and I did not do are this two:
uninstallation of SP1 and In-Place upgrade. I don't have time for it yet. If
you want you can try it, see instructions below, and see if it hepls. Let us
know if something works for you.
Regarding the Log file mentioned by MowGreen, it's interesting that I see
this error message in System log using Windows Event Viewer:
The Windows Modules Installer service terminated with the following error:
Log space is exhausted.
It happens after the reboot after any attempt to install any one of those
Updates. If I only knew which log it means.

Suggestion 3: Uninstall Windows Vista SP1
1. Click Start and Control Panel.
2. Click Uninstall a program in Control Panel Home mode.
3. Click View installed updates.
4. Highlight Windows Vista SP1 and click Uninstall.
Suggestion 4: In-Place upgrade
Please backup all the important files on the system drive to other drives to
avoid data loss. In order to avoid any error message, please refer to the
following link to disable some features first.

Note: Some programs may not work after the upgrading. Please understand it
is normal and we can reinstall them to have them function.
Run the Setup program after you start the computer by using the current
Operating System.
1. Start the computer by using the current Operating System.
2. Insert the Windows Vista DVD in the computer's DVD drive.
3. Use one of the following procedures, as appropriate:
• If Windows automatically detects the DVD, the Install now screen appears.
Click Install now.
• If Windows does not automatically detect the DVD, follow these steps:
a. Click Start, type Drive:\setup.exe into Start Search box, and then press
Enter.
Note Drive is the drive letter of the computer's DVD drive.
b. Click Install now.
4. When you reach the Which type of installation to you want screen, click
Upgrade to upgrade the current operating system to Windows Vista.
