Hi,

did you try to install this KB manually ? If not can you try it ? - you can download from here (choose right language):

KB2539636

http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=27017

KB2533523

http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=27014

KB2468871

http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=3556

...x64 - is for 64bit WIndows 7

...x86 - is for 32bit WIndows 7

How to find out if Windows 7 is 32bit or 64bit is here:

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/find-out-32-or-64-bit

EDIT 8/26/2011

Maybe what you can try (before you try points 1..11) only turn Off your antivirus and turn Off UAC, then manually install the updates  that failed to installand  run Windows update to install rest of updates. Turn On your antivirus and turn On UAC. How turn Off UAC see point 5).

EDIT 8/16/2011

If these steps above not help, try to use these ones:

1) uninstall Net Framework 4.0 client from „Uninstall and change program“:

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Uninstall-or-change-a-program

2) If you still see Net Framework 4.0 client in „Uninstall and change program“ use this tool for unistallation Net Framework 4.0 client:

    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2008/08/28/8904493.aspx

    download, unpack and run „cleanup_tool.exe“ – from pull-down menu choose „.NET Framework 4“ and click „Cleanup Now“

  1. After uninstallation restart computer
  2. Turn Off (Disable) your antivirus
  3. Turn Off UAC (User Account Control) – howto do it:

     http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Turn-User-Account-Control-on-or-off

6) Download and install Net Framework 4.0 from here (choose right language):

     http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=17718

      (same for 32bit OS and 64bit OS)

7) restart computer

8) try to install manually all updates (KB??????) that failed to install

9) run Windows update and install rest of updates

10) T****urn On UAC (User Account Control) – howto do it:

        http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Turn-User-Account-Control-on-or-off

11) Turn On (Enable) your antivirus

    I had the same problem with .NET Framework 4 updates in the past. When they failed to install I just ignored them. This time I used a fix that had been recommended for Microsoft Office updates. (These always fail to install unless I do this. I'm running Vista.)

    I have my computer set to download  updates but  to let me choose whether to install them, so I guess I'm installing manually. All I did was turned off User Account Control before I tried the installation. I left everything else as is. They installed without a hitch.

    To turn off User Account Control, in the Control Panel click "User Accounts and Family Safety", then "User Accounts" again, then "Turn User Account Control On or Off", Continue, uncheck the box and restart the computer. Do the install. Then recheck the box and restart again to restore security.

    This seems a lot simpler than the 11-step answer from LC. So you might want to try this first.
