Steve,
See if this is pertinent:
Error message when you use the Windows Update Web site or Microsoft
Update Web site to install updates: "0x80070017"
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/956704
> This issue may occur if there is a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) failure during the update process.
> This failure may occur if the received file is not the file that is expected by Windows Update
The KB suggests running chkdsk first, then to rename the
Software Distribution\Download subfolder.
If there have been no such cyclic redundancy errors before, suggest you
manually download and *save* the update from the links in the KB
article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976749
Close the browser and any other open programs first, then install it.
It should require a reboot. It did not on my Vista system, did on my XP
and Windows 7 systems. YMMV.
