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 an 8.1 ISO, except fully expanded. I can't run setup because it asks me for a Windows 8.1 key and will not accept my 8 key. I've tried various dism options. Nothing happened, but I was never confident that what I ran was correct. If you'd like to make a suggestion as far as what I should run on the command line I'd be happy to try it. The 8.1 files live at H:\Windows81\ (e.g., that's where the setup.exe file is located).

    I tried something similar with an ISO that I have using Powershell's equivalent to DISM and got a "not authorized".   FWIW I had noticed that it had an  Install.WIM  and was just trying to list its contents

    OMG.  I can get into it!  Try this:

    PS E:> Get-WindowsImage -ImagePath "Sources\Install.wim"

    So, that would be H:  in your case.  I think where I went wrong after that is not understanding how to use the Index parameter.   But the output of this command at least now hints what it means.  See what you can get that way?
