Windows Vista SP1 (KB936330) : Error Code 80070017

I am using the Windows Vista Home Premium OS on my new HP Laptop. Up until
now, all the "Important" updates have installed successfully through Windows
Update. Now, however, I have had 10 failed attempts at installing the recent
Service Pack [Windows Vista SP1 - KB936330] in the last 3 days. As suggested
in some of the MS Online Help sites, I cleaned up all temporary files, and on
one occasion turned off Windows Defender (I was too chicken to disable my
Norton Security as well) - but they still did not resolve the problem. Each
fail has come up with the Error Code 80070017. I would guess that I'm not the
only one experiencing this current problem, so is there an easy solution to
it? (BTW the emphasis there is on the word "easy"!)

Hello Philby7,

I have the infamous 80070017 error code as well. I've tried everything in
the post below. Nothing works. Even the reliability update for Vista is not
reliable. Sheesh!
