error !! 0xc0190036 !! 5638/77767 (autochk.exe.mui)
same problem here - i can see already that this will cost me quite some time to fix.
and since for a working man time = money, i am quite unhappy about that.
- I was able to finally solve the problem, but it wasn't easy.
The file autochk.exe.mui was corrupt on the harddrive. chkdsk wasn't able to fix it, so I got a new hard drive, mirrored the hard drive, ran chkdsk again, deleted the corrupted file and replaced it with the file from another copy of windows Vista, using the command shell you get by booting from the windows Vista install cd and hitting Shift-F10.
After the corrupted file has been replaced, sp1 install proceded and eventually finished successfully.
i am planning to write up a detailed how-to on my blog as soon as i get some time. I have the same problem BUT I've got an IBM ThinkPad which came with the Vista install code on a separate partition on the HDD. How can I get to a Command Prompt to fix the problem?

I'm sorry this is some bullshit and I do not accept this as a reliable solution. At the very worst all you had to do was reinstall windows.- @killem2
It is the solution for the problem described in this post, whether you like it or not.
If you think reinstalling is the solution for you - you can go ahead and do that, I don't have time to waste my time. Reinstalling dozens of programs, settings, looking up the registration and activation information for various programs, addins, drivers, settings etc. will take me approximately 2 days or more... If you have that kind of time, you are welcome to use reinstalling as a solution for everything. I think it is easier to replace a corrupted file (5 minutes) and proceed with SP1 installation.
You can go ahead and post reinstalling as the solution for 9 out of 10 problems in this support forum. See if user's will be happy with that advice...
And work on your language, buddy... - @Remlek
If your OEM (IBM) didn't provide you with a Vista DVD or a way to create a Vista Install DVD or recovery DVD, you can use Windows PE to replace the file - however this is not a very user friendly process, as Windows PE is Part of the Windows Automated installation Kit and targeted towards ITPro's for Pre-Installation purposes.
It will probably be easier to just borrow a friend's Vista DVD or order one from IBM.
Here is the Link to WAIK, which lets you create a PE CD.

You will still need the original file that is corrupted, so you can replace it.
Important: Delete the old file first, then copy the new one to that location. Just replacing it, might not fix the corruption. - Your approach is correct; however, it should not be necessary to replace the hard disk unless there is actually something physically wrong with it. I copied the problem file from another Vista computer onto a thumb drive, stuck it into the USB port of the problem computer, started it up and went to the command prompt from the Startup Repair options, deleted the corrupt file (which was in c:\windows\system32), and copied the replacement file from the thumb drive. Then a reboot and this time it finished installing SP1.
I believe you need to have the thumb drive inserted in the USB port before you reboot, or Windows will not see it; however, I did not try it the other way to find out. - Quick Question having the problem as above with vista ans service pack1 with computer refusing to boot after attempting the install. you say to download the PE CD file/s My question is now that the PC wont boot I do not have internet via a valid Vista or any windows platform, the file you say to down load requires a validation step before down load. ????
How can I validate my windows when I can't boot my windows. currently running a bootable Ubunta CD which allows me to access the internet as well as access my computer. yet still having difficulties. - Sharing my experience...
Vista Home Premium SP1 (at time and was in process of installing SP2). Completed installing SP2 and then on reboot got the !! 0xc0190036 error dealing with bultooth.hd1.
So after shut down and restart, it kept going into resume mode then blank screen with top left cursor. The way I got out of it was:
a) Had to get it from kicking into resume mode on restart so looking around, found article on a possible solution where, on power up, you go into bios (F2 on start of laptop/PC) and switch the SATA harddrive option from AHCI to ATA (and the cache mode as well if required). I rebooted and nothing came up so I powered off, powered on, switched back to the original SATA harddrive option (and cache mode) an then, on restart, I had theb option to delete the existing "resume" and go directly into windows boot.
b) Now not too sure on the details on this item but basically, I went through step a) twice and on the second time (on windows normal boot, was hitting F8 but not sure if that did it), It gave me the option to boot normally OR go directly to windows recovery mode where it gave me the option to recover from a restore point. Did that and was able to recover the last good version (no corrupted files) and then basically got in, scheduled check disk, if found disk errors that it corrected and got the system back up.
I know details are vague but maybe might help someone.
