    Since the system has never successfully updated you can follow the steps
    laid out here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934562

    After renaming the SoftwareDistribution folder, restart the system to
    normal Windows mode.
    Download and SAVE the latest version of the Windows Update Agent [WUA]
    for the version of Vista that is installed on the system :

    Windows Update Agent 3.0 [x86 - 32 bit]
    http://download.windowsupdate.com/v7...gent30-x86.exe

    Windows Update Agent 3.0 [x64 or 64 bit]
    http://download.windowsupdate.com/v7...gent30-x64.exe

    When the download completes close the browser and any other open programs.
    Now install the WUA.
    Did that help ?

    Microsoft techs had previously had me rename my SoftwareDistribution folder.
    When I try to save the Windows Update Agent program I get message
    "installation failed- error 0x800b0100"
