Update to Vista SP1 (follow up) Failure 0x800F0826

Here I am, updating some old posts, that I had forgotten about...
Vista Update post
The first one is an update to a one-year-old post about a problem: during Vista SP1 update
Remembering the Issue
The issue was that:
And then Vista tells me it couldn't install my computer because error 0x800F0826.
And I was thinking of waiting for final release to fix it... Of course, it didn't work.
This happens when Vista Ultimate is used on a multiboot machine.
Solution
The solution was to give back the bootloader to Vista Bootloader and not Grub. So, configure again the Vista Bootloader and write changes to disk.
Then reboot and update to Vista SP1.
Reinstore Grub as your main Bootloader using the usual tools :D

Update from Windows Vista Ultimate to Windows Vista Ultimate SP1
By JBK on Friday, December 14 2007, 18:55 - Geek & Computer
This blogpost will be linear, following my progress of installation:
I did download the SP1 RC from Microsoft Website. This package is around 440MB. It took the French Version because my Vista Version is in French.
As I don't really use Vista at all, this is almost a clean installation of Vista.
Start
Once launched, the exe warns you that you need at least 7Gb of disk (sigh!) and that it can take up to one hour!
After a problem-less process and 15minutes of slider progression, the system reboots.
1st reboot
The start of the computer is a bit longer than usual. The usual 'Updates configuration' screen is shown. And it reboots another time without letting me log in.
2nd reboot
The system reboots for another long start, and yet another 'Updates configuration' screen instead of the login is shown. But then I can log without any problem.
Failure 0x800F0826
And then Vista tells me it couldn't install my computer because error 0x800F0826.
Googling it didn't really helped...
Let's try again. Re-check that my Vista is up to date. Reboot.
Try again
So I restarted the whole process. Reboot. update. Reboot automatically. Updates. Same error.
Conclusion.
I am not a computer illiterate, I have a legit Vista Ultimate Version, I fully made the updates before and follow the process like documented, but it still fails. I could try to read the logs or anything, but I won't. I'll wait for the official release.
