::::: Here's the message I received from Microsoft support:
:::::
::::: This error may occur if the older Windows Update engine files
::::: cannot be replaced by Windows Update Agent 3.0 (7.0.6000.374).
::::: To troubleshoot this issue, I suggest we first reset permission
::::: and reinstall Windows Update Agent 3.0.
::::: Step 1: Reset permission
::::: ================
::::: 1. Please download the subinacl.msi file from the following link
::::: and save the installation patch onto the Desktop:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...inityDownloads
::::: 2. Please go to the Desktop and double click the downloaded file.
::::: 3. Please select the C:\Windows\System32 folder as the
::::: Destination Folder during the installation. Later we will use
::::: this tool to reset the permission settings on the current machine.
::::: Note: If UAC (User Account Control) window is prompted for
::::: permission to continue, please click Continue.
::::: 4. Click the Start Button, in the Start Search bar, type:
::::: "notepad" (without quotes) and press Enter.
::::: 5. Copy the following commands and then paste them into the

::::: @Echo =========================

::::: @pause
::::: 6. After pasting the above commands, please close the Notepad

::::: panel as the save location.
::::: 7. Refer to the Desktop and right click the reset.bat file, then
::::: choose "Run as administrator."

::::: ===========================
::::: 1. Please download the file from the following link:
::::: Windows Vista (32bit)
:::::
http://download.windowsupdate.com/v7...gent30-x86.exe
::::: Windows Vista (64bit)
:::::
http://download.windowsupdate.com/v7...gent30-x64.exe
::::: 2. Save the file to D: drive.
::::: Note: Please select a drive where Windows Vista was not loaded
::::: because the file cannot be launched directly from the system root
::::: directory.
::::: 3. Click Start->Run, type: "D:\WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe
::::: /wuforce" (without quotations) and then press Enter to install
::::: the Windows Update engine.

::::
::::: It failed for me too. Microsoft then suggested performing an
::::: in-place Vista upgrade, which did indeed fix the problem.
:::::
::::: 1. With Windows Vista running, insert the Windows Vista CD/DVD.
::::: 2. Run Setup.
::::: 3. When prompted, select Upgrade.
::::: 4. The process takes a LONG time.
