This is a link to an article I found on the Microsoft websit by googling the
error code. The error code I got indicates that part of the update is
missing. The fix is explained on the web page above, but I haven't tried it
yet.

Which error code? 0x800704DD or 0x80070003?

Not only have you hijacked another's thread, you have posted insufficient
information.

See responses to Jay & SHB
Pick your error code and operating system accordingly.

Mari, your error code is 0x80070005 which is totally different from the
original posted and the hijackers.

For your error (access denied) :

First, make sure that your anti virus software isn't locking the registry
and preventing the installer from modifying the same.
