I have found some posts pertaining to this, but it looks like as if the cause can be any number of things. I do see that most ask for the contents of a file to be listed, so I'll list that below.
The error in the update history is also as follows:
Error Code: 0x64C
Try to install the update again, or request help from one of the following resources.

ThanksI had a similar problem and found after some searching that in my case it was due to the SQL Express service being disabled.
Start -> Run and enter: services.msc
Go to the SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) service. If it is disabled, then go into properties, set it to automatic and start it.
Then try installing the updates again.
Once finished, you can disable the service again.
|||Probably should have mentioned that I checked for this. I'd seen this as a problem before and it is running, though I never actually use it.

|||Hi,
I've looked into this and think I've found the answer as it was causing other problems I've had...
I deleted from disk the entire of the profile of one of the user accounts I use, and this user account was the one under which most of the software on the machine was installed (even though installed for all users).
The problem was that the installation source MSIs were cached in that users profile, not the system profile (which I think is wrong) but the upshot was that any upgrade/remove of packages installed as that user failed.
When I checked the logs of 921896 and saw that it was complaining about missing source, I had to do what I did with all the other apps, and Zap the MSI installation database for SQL Express. Then, you need to delete the SQL services, delete the SQL registry keys, and then re-apply SQL Express. Then you should be OK. If you do actually have any data, you'll need to backup/restore.
Worked for me...

|||I installed SQLEXPR_ADV.EXE and solve the problem. During the installation asp.net messaging problem occur but at the end it installed succesfully on my Vista x64. I didn't have listed MSSQLEXPRESS service in services.
