One of the most common cause of installation failure is when a third party application has a file open or locks a file that the service pack installation program needs. Close all applications and restart your computer. After your computer has restarted, disable any antivirus or other anti-spyware application that can be loaded during the startup process. As soon as you close the antivirus or antispyware application, try installing Windows Vista SP1 from Windows Update site or from the Microsoft Update site.
