Problems playing AvP (2010) and Window Update in general

Evil WeevilEvil Weevil Registered User regular
Alright so here's the issue which is making me want to smash my head onto my desk.

Whenever I try to launch the exe, this error comes up:
The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log for more detail.

I'm running Windows Vista 64 bit Home Edition.

Now I've been told that it's a problem with the VC update, so when I try to install THAT, this sucker comes up:
"Error 1935. An error occured during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT, type ="win32", version="8.0.50727.4053", public Key Token = "1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b", processor Architecture = "x86"'. Please refer to Help and Support for more information.

I've also noticed that before all this, months ago my Windows Update refused to work so I get something like this when I try to run another seperate Visual download:
Product: Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable -- Error 1935.An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'policy.8.0.Microsoft.VC80.ATL,type="win32-policy",version="8.0.50727.4053",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",processorArchitecture="x86"'. Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x80073712. assembly interface: IAssemblyCacheItem, function: Commit, component: {66332652-9C28-58B1-A01F-C8B3B9A1E18E
}

I've bolded the HRESULT. I ran the so called System Update Readiness Tool and it downloaded something but that did diddly squat. I've deactivated all my antivirus/firewall software and still nothing.

It's also been a problem with my iTunes and even installing the MMO Darkfall. I've had it with this damn error, and I can't afford to reinstall Vista right now. Any help?
