Then your symptom is essentially independent of WU,
so you may get better assistance from someone who has
actually installed whatever it is that you are trying to install,
e.g. from someone in a newsgroup which specializes in that
update's product.

Usually 0x80070005 is just a symptom of a permissions problem
of some kind. You need to use the install log or perhaps the Event log
to refine that symptom description, so you can know *which* resource
needs to have its permissions changed.
An alternative to using those diagnostics would be to run ProcMon
and rerun the install, then look for messages such as "access denied"
in the ProcMon trace.
Good luck
