0x80070663 ERROR_PATCH_PACKAGE_OPEN_FAILED
This update package could not be opened. Verify that the update package
exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to
verify that this is a valid Windows Installer update package.


Which edition of Windows; what Service Pack level is it on ?
Which updates are you attempting to install ?

You could try download and *saving* them from the MS Download Center and
then trying a manual installation of the updates.

If you do, be sure to download and *save* the *specific* updates that
match the *architecture* of your system ( either 32 bit, x86, or 64 bit,
x64 ): http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/Search.aspx?
