    Uh. After some tries the Windows Update has fixed, but the original problem with KB2887595 persists.

    I'm out of ideas.

    I'd repeated the troubleshoot. The result:

    Ctrl Panel,

    search for Troubleshoot,

    select Troubleshhoting,

    at the bottom, under System and Security

    select Fix problems with Windows Update.

    I'd tried it yesterday, it's fixed something, but not solved my problem.

    I'll try it again.

    This finally installed successfully for me this morning. All I did differently was to run the windows update troubleshooter that is available in the control panel for windows update problems before trying the update again.

    I don't know whether this cleared the problem or whether MS have sorted it.
