2. Windows Vista Service Pack 1 is not available for installation from Windows Update and is not offered by Automatic Updates
   http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948343

Cause

Before installing the Windows Vista Service Pack1, System needs to be applied all important programs and patches listed on Windows Update. System doesn't display and list the Vista Service Pack 1 until applying all important patches and updates.

(not require the optional programs. for example, we don't need to apply the patches for the silverlight even if the programs are listed on Windows Update.)

Maybe this problem doesn't occure when setting the automatically windows update mode.
