I THINK I FIGURED IT OUT!!! Forgive my enthusiasm, but I have been battling this Vista Error 80070490 problem for almost two years now. Microsoft has been no help at all, and HP did not give me the Vista Ultimate disk when I bought the laptop so updating using the disk was not an option. Today I manually downloaded Windows Installer 4.5 from the following webpage and saved it to my desktop; LINK Once that was downloaded, I installed it on my PC. I then downloaded the System Update Readiness Tool for Windows Vista from the following webpage and saved it to my desktop; LINK Once that was downloaded I installed it on my PC. These installations seemed to take a few hours. At times it looked like things had froze up. I didn’t mess with anything and just let it do it’s thing. A few hours later they were both installed. I don’t know which one of these programs done the trick, but I really don’t care at this point. I opened the Windows Updater, and searched for updates. Things immediately started happening that I had not seen in almost two years. It first updated the platform with service pack 1, then all the other updates I have not been able to get. Good luck.

I tried the Windows Installer 4.5. I'm running Vista, but none of the 3 downloads for Vista would work. All tried to update and then gave me an error that said 'this update doesn't apply to this system"

I'm running Vista.
I tried to install Windows Installer 4.5, but each of the Vista downloads said that this update is not compatible with my system.
I then went to your 2nd link for the Windows Update Readiness Tool. That says you get it through Windows Update, which of course does not work as I am under the Error Code 80070490. On the bottom of that page under Information for advanced User, I went to the link for Windows Vista and downloaded it (KB947821) and installed it. This took some time but it eventually completed the installation. I then ran Windows Update and got the same old error 80070460.

I got the Windows Installer Cleanup tool, but once it was running, I could not find any entry for the .NET Framework.

After Cleanup could not find .NET Framework, I went to the next link to install .NET Framework v2.0 Redisributable Package and after running it, it said: .NET is already installed as part of your operating system.
I then went to the next link for the .NET Framework 2.o Security Update for Vista and running that told me that it was not compatible with my system.
