[SOLVED] Cannot update Windows Vista due to error 80070490

[Sculptress]

I've read a few threads on this site about this issue but all solutions seem to be on an individual basis.
I've attached the CBS files with the hope that someone can help me as well.
All help will be VERY appreciated!

Thank you!
