Run the Windows System File Checker, then try updating again.
Re-register the Windows Installer: Click Start > Run > type MSIEXEC /UNREGISTER > click OK (it'll look like nothing happened). Then do the same thing except this time type MSIEXEC /REGSERVER. Now try updating again.
Start the Windows Installer Service:
- Click Start > type Services.msc in the search box > press the Enter key.
- Scroll down and double-click Windows Installer.
- Select Manual as the Startup type.
