    No, it is still available from the Microsoft download site.

    Complete solution goes like this:

    1. Boot from the Vista install media, choose your language, time, currency and keyboard settings
    2. Select Repair your computer and your Vista installation
    3. Select System Restore from the System Recovery Options, and select a restore point that was made before the latest Windows Update
    4. After the restore & reboot, do not install any update(s) offered
    5. Install the above update
    6. Reboot
    7. Install any updates listed on Windows Update, reboot
    8. Done!

    That's why I refuse to do business with companies that do not supply me with a full installation DVD.

    Now, when you get to the installation screen, I assume you have to re-set your PC. At that point, you should be offered to start in safe mode (next time you restart). When you do start in safe mode, does that work? Some people reported that starting to safe mode allowed the installation to continue.

    If not, I don't have any other suggestions.
