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/windowsupdate/redist/standalone/WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe

 

Windows Update Agent 3.0 [x64 or 64 bit]

http://download.windowsupdate.com/v7/windowsupdate/redist/standalone/WindowsUpdateAgent30-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"
