[SOLVED] KB 3071756 Update for Vista 64 bit results in Code 80073712 Error

[ryxr30]

Similar to others I am having issues using Windows update on three particular updates in Vista Home Premium SP2, 64 bit version.
I walked through the prelim steps in the other messages (Downloaded and ran System Update Readiness Tool)
and ended up with a CheckSUR log file showing 8 errors (attached).
Any help is much appreciated.

Great, log is attached.

Auto update was now able to successfully apply two of the three broken updates.

KB959209, .NET Framework 3.5 x64 is still failing update.

Looks ok.

Check for updates again, if KBKB959209 is still offered try to install it.
If the install fails, zip and attach CBS.log

Update failed and the CBS log didn't look like a smoking gun. But I found this Microsoft site, Cannot update to .NET framework 3.5 SP1 and family update KB951847 - Microsoft Community

followed the instructions which essentially uninstalled .net components and reinstalls and I am now good on all updates.
Thanks a ton for all the support; great service.
