Error Code 0x8024200D is:
SUS_E_UH_NEEDANOTHERDOWNLOAD
The installer requires more data to be downloaded

As you've been offered the SP1 package from WU then try a manual download and
installation. At least the advantage of the full file is that you can burn a copy of the
same and have it if ever you need it later without having to redownload the same.
