critical update will not install

Attempted to install KB912919 today., received error code 0x8007FODA, did
"find" all files, etc., found the item, clicked open and received message
that Windows could not open a ?pnu file. I did not write down the extension.
My thinking is that if Windows can't open a file from Microsoft download, why
keep it? I deleted it, emptied the recycle bin and made two more attempts.
So, I now have three unsuccessful attempts to install a "critical" update.
Why can't I do this? Incidentally this is a new computer.
