Error 80240016 w/Media Center update

Can anyone help with this problem, I've tried the following to no avail....
I've already updated to SP1 and the updates up to 10/15/08.

This still didn't fix the problem. Thanks for the input though.

Did you install Vista SP1 via Windows Update or manually, Patty?

Can you install KB955519 manually using the appropriate Download Center link
in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/955519?...

1. Save the download to your desktop, do not Run it.

2. Close all open applications (i.e., anything with a taskbar icon).

3. Physically disconnect from the internet & temporarily disable your
anti-virus application, any anti-spyware applications (other than Defender),
and any third-party firewall.

4. Right-click on the saved file (#1) and select "Run as Administrator" to
install.

5. Reboot twice, make sure everything you disabled in #3 above is enabled
again, and reconnect to the internet.

I installed SP1 via Windows Update. I've tried your tips below, but without
success. Windows Update has become a pesky little critter.....

What happened when you attempted to install the update manually, Patty?
Post any error messages you received in their entirety.

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your
subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)?
What third-party firewall (if any)? Were any of these applications running
in the background when you installed Vista SP1?

I have the exact same problem and error code. I tried many things,
including closing and restarting windows update and installing this
update manually which both failed.

The system file check doesn't seem to be working for me, also. I run a
command prompt as administrator and type in "sfc /scannow" but get that
"Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation".
It doesn't work in safe mode either. I did a disk check at startup and
didn't work after that, either. Windows Vista came preinstalled on this
computer so I have no way of doing an upgrade reinstall.

When I manually install the Media Center update it gives me the following
messages:

Initializing installation... done!
Installing Update for Windows (KB955519) (update 1 of 1)...

The following updates were not installed
Update for Windows (KB955519)

I use McAfee anti-virus, Super antispyware free edition, Registry Mechanic.
I exited out of everything in the SysTray. Then went into Task Manager and
closed out additional processes which weren't needed. I've tried all the
steps I know of to a "T", multiple times, but still no luck. And I did turn
off the Firewall too.

What McAfee application is installed, Patty (e.g., McAfee Security Center;
McAfee VirusScan Plus), and is your subscription current (if it's not a
freebie)? Was another McAfee application ever installed on this machine
(e.g., a free-trial that came preinstalled when you bought the computer)?

I would uninstall S*perAntispyware IIWY. Simply disabling it does NOT
disable its "system protections."

Your use of Registry Mechanic may have caused your current predicament: Read
