    0x80242006 (-2145116154) SUS_E_UH_INVALIDMETADATA
    The caller passed an update with invalid metadata to the handler

    You could try clearing all the temporary internet files etc and clearing out the
    softwaredistribution folder and trying again all must manually download and install the
    update.

    Search for a Download
    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/s...displaylang=en

    How to rename the SoftwareDistribution folder in Vista -
    1. Stop the Windows Update service (make sure you are logged on as an Administrator)

    Start button || Control Panel ||System and Maintenance ||Administrative Tools
    Double-click Services
    (Provide the Administrator password or confirmation if prompted to do so.)
    Right-click the Windows Update service and click Stop.

    2. Click Start, type %windir% in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.

    Locate and rename the SoftwareDistribution folder.

    3. Start the Windows Update service

    Start button || Control Panel ||System and Maintenance ||Administrative Tools
    Double-click Services
    (Provide the Administrator password or confirmation if prompted to do so.)
    Right-click the Windows Update service and click Start.

    This procedure will erase your history on the Windows Update Site. Not important.

    You can check which updates are installed on your computer by -
    Start button || Control Panel || Programs
    Under Programs and Features - click View installed updates.
