Update for Windows Vista (KB938371) install fails

Another 2nd Tuesday, another failed install. Have Home Premium, AVG Free, Ad
Aware, Spybot, Spyware Blaster (all latest.) Ditched third-party firewall
after last fiasco and still irritated about it. Update says download and
install successful. After lengthy reboot (45m-1hr), check update list to
find this one failed. System does seem to reboot twice altho splash screens
won't confirm. Tried disabling AV and Anti-spy to no avail. Any ideas out
there?

I'm also having this problem on my system (Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit
running AVG, AdAware and Spybot along with the usual Windows products. 160GB
HD, 2.2 Ghz).

These are the failed update details:

>Installation date: ‎2/‎13/‎2008 8:20 PM

>Installation status: Failed

>Error details: Code 800705B4

I've tried installing this update twice, and each time it spends a long time
shutting down and installing updates, and a long time configuring settings
when starting up again taking approximately 1- 1 1/2 hours.

Any advice?

Having failed 3 times to install KB938371 I succesfully did the following
Go to Download details: Update for Windows Vista (KB938371)
Download standalones KB937267-x86.msu and KB938371-x86.msu
Disable UAC, Anti-virus, Windows firewall and disconnect from internet
Install KB937267 (no reboot required) then KB938371 reboot and it succesfully installs without multi bootups.

I am unable to find KB937267 after search in windows updates is KB correct No?
