Windows 8.1 Feature Pack kb2932046 (part of kb2919355) won't install

Tried downloading 8.1 update via Windows update on 8 March and kb2919355 failed to load citing corrupt or missing file. Went to Microsoft Download center and searched for kb2919355 which brought up several sub files. I was able to successfully download and install all but the kb2932046 . Any idea on how to get it to install?  I am on an original Windows 7 32 bit computer which has been upgraded to Windows 8 Pro with Media Center and then to Windows 8.1, all via download. I thus have no DVD, USB etc to do a refresh, which I don't wish to do anyway. I've already tried the Updater Tool Fix and the DISM procedures suggested by Windows Update with no luck. As far as I know, I've not moved any directories. Any help appreciated.  Thanks.

    I have installed KB2919442 first on 4/11/14 followed by KB2919355on 4/15/14. Both of these updates are listed in the History Updatelist in the control panel of my laptop.

    KB2932046, KB2937592, KB2938439 are the next KBs that must be installed in this order per Windows. Since my new HP Pavillion is a 64-bit laptop I clicked on Andre's KBlinks above under the Windows Update 8.1 x64 section. I clicked on KB2932046 as this is the next one needed to be downloaded. When I clicked on it I received a window saying that KB2932046 is alreadyinstalled. Same with KB2937592 and KB2938439 BUT these are NOT listed in the History Update list in my laptop.

    Also, per the Windows forum, KB2934018 would be the last KB to be downloaded. Why isn't KB2934018 listed in Andre's list above?

    This whole thing is just a mess. The clock is ticking. I regret giving Windows 8 a try.

    Joe,

    If you go to Control Panel [right click bottom left corner] then Windows Update, you can click on View Update History and it will show you which kb file(s) installed, including your kb2932046. If you see yours installed, then you are in good shape. On that same screen, if you click on "installed updates" and go to the windows section, it will show only the kb number of the entire package that gets installed. I believe I also read that property someplace in a Microsoft Bulletin for kb2919355. I have not done any programming for some time so I'm not sure why a sub file and the package file would have the same number but there must be a reason. My problem is that the "package" kb2919355 is shown as installed (and seems to be working just fine) but I can tell via Windows Update and manual downloading that kb2932046 has never successfully installed. Wish I could help you more.

    I got KB2919355 to install. I then installed kb2932046 . Everything seemed to be normal, but it is not listed as an installed update. Is that because it is really part of KB2919355?

    Thanks for the suggestion, but no luck on that method either. Glad it worked for you.
