I got that with x64 too. I'm guessing it is because I realized I had already installed this update through Windows Update.

Same here, I'm on the same x64 boat with you people.

Im sure all in good time, that by mid summer or early fall, most of the kinks will be worked out.

If you have vista 32bit on your system thats the error code you get. you need to format your hard drive and do clean install of vista 64bit..
