WannaCry patch for Vista; says not applicable

I have an old Vista laptop running Vista (32 bit). I tried to install Microsoft's patch for WannaCry from

When I try to install the Vista patch (not the 64-bit; the 3rd one in the list), it starts installing and then eventually says that it's not applicable to my computer.

Two weird things: 1) When I click the hyperlink that is the name of the patch, the page that comes up is in Spanish. 2) I can tell that the description box that comes up is describing the Win XP SP3 patch.

Has anyone else run in to this?
