Windows Installer Failed - Solved

I went to http://msdn/microsoft.com/downloads. Typed "Windows Installer" in
the search window and picked the first Windows Installer redistribution
option. It requires MS Validation, but it downloaded the KB file and
installed successfully.
After this, all other Windows Updating worked.

I had previously been trying to install updates for over a week.

Hope this helps.
