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

    Ive tried everything.  What I do believe is this.  The .dll files.   I was reading on it and it said that when a user (such as I) un-installs a program--and we do from time to time--along with that uninstall so goes the .dll files it used from the .dll library.  Ugh!!! how can this be?  Cant Windows make the--so absolutely needed--.dll library more secure than that with its programming.  We as users are not techs and we depend on the IQ of Microsoft Windows.  There should be something in the programming of the .dll library that prevents this from happening.   I call this bad lack and weakness in what Users depend on.  This lack is what I believe is making it impossible for my updates to configure.    I keep getting failure codes.  It seems that to have failure codes means they know about the lack in programming.  Windows should have a button to check for .dll files that have been removed by un-installed programs.  Wow thats rediculous.  Maybe a programming that would protect our .dll file and send it back to the library rather than allow another program to un-install it along with the rest of the files.  I thought Microsoft programmers had high IQs.  I am really unhappy about this lack.  I paid a lot of money for 8.1 and I dont want my .dll library messed up.  Pitiful.  Please know I dont blame you.  I dont know who to blame other than Microsoft Windows.  Sad sad sad.

    Written with Windows 7 in mind but most will be relevant to Windows 8.
