First clear up your Temp File/Cache, Reboot and try again. Best and easier to use CCleaner.

If it doesnt help, try this : Rt Click Computer > Manage > Services > Stop the "Cryptographic Service" and rename the "Catroot2" folder situated in C:\Windows\System32\Catroot to something like say Catroot2X. Reboot. Now run the update/hotfix installers again. This action will re-generate a new Catroot2 folder and the updates/hotfixes, should hopefully install OK.

If still you have a problem then, go to C:\Windows\Windows Update.log and look for the most recent entry. Any failed updates will have error code/s written next to them. Note them down.

Now refer the Windows Update Error Codes (http://inetexplorer.mvps.org/archive/wuc.htm%20List/)This will give you the direction in which you may have to look for the solution. Or check out this Microsoft resource (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/ph/6527/). There is some nice info here too at UpdateXP (http://www.updatexp.com/0x8007007E.html) some of which may find relevance to Vista.
