Vista Update fails - Error code C015001A
Do you receive a message when attempting to install Windows Updates in Vista that states:
"To check for updates you must first install an update for Windows Update. Your automatic updating settings will not change."
This has become a common problem with some Vista OS builds that has gone unresolved and no one seems to have a solution... but we have seem to have found the answer.
1.) Go to the control panel > Programs and Features > click "View Installed Updates"
2.) Remove the last Update that states it is a "Hotfix"
3.) Once the uninstall is completed go to Windows Update and attempt to connect again.
4.) Viola... all the available updates will be listed!

I have the same problem of error code C015001A and have tried your solution. Unfortunately, I find I have a 'No previous updates' message. My Vista is fairly new and I have only just tried to update.
Go to start and place the mouse over the windows update option and do a right click on the mouse. select run as administrator and see if that helps. You may also want to take a look at disabling or removing any anti-virus / firewall software you may have to determine if that is conflicting.
