The solution is to register the Windows Update files. To do this go to the
start button then run:
regsvr32 wuapi.dll (enter) you should see a confirmation message.
regsvr32 wuaueng.dll
regsvr32 wuaueng1.dll
regsvr32 wucltui.dll
regsvr32 wups.dll
regsvr32 wups2.dll
regsvr32 wuweb.dll

Reboot and go to the windows update site and try again. This always works
for me when updates download but fail to install.
