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

    LC, ok, I finished the third KB2468871v2 and had the same result as the first 2.

    Does not apply, or is blocked by another condition on your computer.

    I am going to look at my update page from here.

    LC, Sure hope you are still around! After doing the sfc/scannow, and pulling up the log file, I decided to reboot and try the individual updates again from the beginning. The first one I did was the first time I was actually able to complete the download. However, after the download, this is the messege I got:

    KB2539636 does not apply, or is blocked by another condition on your computer.

    I just finished the second, KB2533523, and the same message ad above?

    Going to try the thrid now.

    At least I was able to download these, up until now, I have not been able to since yesterday!

    Thank you so much for your assistance. 

    After hunting for an explanation about why these 3 updates failed for so many of us, I found your simple manual update resolution to work perfectly.  I still wish that we could understand why this happened in the first place and ensure somehow that Microsoft is at least looking into the automatic update failure itself.

    You are the best!

    Think it would help if I went to IE9 from IE8 with the issues I have had?
