KB955430 Update Issue error 80070057

Hi all,

So I recently had to do a fresh install on my Vista home premium (x64) machine. Everything was going fine until Microsoft update tried to reinstall KB955430 to clear the way for SP2. When trying to install this I get error 0x80070057 the parameter is incorrect. 

I've tried safe mode, uninstalling my antivirus, running the SP2 standalone (the first thing it does is try to install 955430 and gives me the same error), the microsoft fix it tool, running the check SUR and an SCF scan and so far nothing has worked. The check

SUR didn't find any errors. the SCF results has 2 corruptions:

Any help would be greatly appreciated! I just got everything reloaded onto this machine and the thought of going through that process again with the small hope that it'll work next time is unpleasant. 

Thanks in advance!
