Failed to install update Microsoft Installer error 1622

I received the following message when TT was trying to install updates:

 

"Failed to install update. Microsoft installer error 1622.  Error opening installation log file.  Verify that the specified log file location exists and that you can write to it."

 

However, when I click on "online" in the top left and click "check for updates" it says my software is up to date.  Is there anything I need to do?  Is my software up to date?  Will this issue correct itself?

 

Please help.
