How do I update to Windows 7 Service Pack 1

[kakmca]

Hi,
I am using Windows-7 ultimate.
Long before only (nearly more than 2 months before), I got the Windows 7 Service Pack 1 into my Windows Update folder. From then onwards, whenever I am trying to install this update, after long delay, I am getting the error message something like Windows update could not install this update. More than 10 times I tried.

What could be the problem? Can anybody please suggest what to do to solve this problem?

I am attaching the screenshot for your reference.

Thanks for your help.
