Can't install Win 7 SP1 - Error code returned 80070005 - Win 7 64 Pro

Hi All,

I installed several new updates this morning but Service pack 1 for Win 7 keeps failing giving me the error message 80070005.  I am using the Windows Update application under the start bar,  I have Win 7 64 Pro.

I have tried twice this morning, it gets to around 98-100% downloaded and then displays the error and the option to retry.

I am using an Admin account and have default Windows settings with AVG 2011 Antivirus software installed.

Normally I don't have any problems installing updates.

Any pointers would be appreciated, thanks!
