Brother HL 5050 printer driver update

I have been trying to download and automatically install
the driver update for about one year. The driver seems to download,
but then will fail to install. The only advice given on the update page
is that the install failed, and that I should try again.

Is any other advice possible, something a little more enlightening?

No real advice other than have you contacted Brother?
You do have the latest Windows Updates and Service Pack installed?

Don't download any device driver updates from WU. Always get drivers from
the 'source' - the hw mfr's website.
