Resolved SP1 Download/Install Fails

Helping a friend try to get SP1 installed (W7, 64Bit, Build 7600). It indicates it is installing and then after just a few minutes it stops and says it has failed - Error Code 80073712. I have Googled this code looked at some of the other threads on this board and thought I would try to manually download to the Desktop http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=5842 and install from there as suggested by Evan in HTipper's thread.

However, there are 4 different downloads for this particular Build. Each one is described at the bottom of the page but I'm not sure how to tell which one I should download. Can anyone help me out? Thanks.

I have added the descriptions below:

 

How are you doing the install? Doing it with Windows Updates is the best way. It will find what it needs and do it. In IE, go to Tools/Windows Update. Then in the next window, click on Check for updates on the left side pane.

 

Thanks MrBill and Evan,

I tried installing via the automatic updates a couple of times and both failed. I downloaded the SP1 executable - it appeared to be working but after about 30 minutes or so it failed. I downloaded and installed the System Update Readiness Tool and then tried the automatic download one more time and that failed.

The friend's son came on the scene and he made a couple of attempts and they contacted Dell who has scheduled a W7 reinstall. I have cautioned the friend to back up all data and be prepared to reinstall all programs that she previously installed.

I will mark this one Resolved. If anything of consequence occurs, I will update.
