Same thing hereSame thing here. Succeeded on the second run
It did happen to me in all my three computers. On the second try the failed update installed.
And strangely, on my primary desktop with Win 7 Ultimate 32 bit, when I booted yesterday night, I received a dialog box saying " Your copy of Windows is not genuine " Duh.............
How can a genuine retail copy distributed by a MS distributor and purchased from a reputed retailer with a certificate of authenticity and resident in the PC since Dec 2009 suddenly become non-genuine!!!!!! In fact during the promotional offer, I got a "genuine" Reebok watch shipped by Microsoft India. ( that watch, none-the-less, was not even worth the cost of my morning breakfast :) )
The only change in the PC is the abovesaid latest updates. The last software I installed was the latest version of Speccy.
I presume the cloud will pass as mysteriously as it appeared:). Keeping my fingers crossed though. Oh, my computer ! Oh, Microsoft ! ( and if these fail Oh, God! ) Take mercy on the poor souls who reposed faith on you !

yep same here second time round ok what i do in future is install them one at a time if possible :)
Ususualy if there are incompatible updates they are makerd as such somehow and windows update then is smart enough to install one set before continuing with another. I'm guessing that that last update was not properly labeled as needing to be installed seperately like usual.
I had the same issue. I think the problem/issue was that one of the updates had to be installed fisrt before the one that failed to install could install.... if that makes sense :)
Anyways, once the other updates were installed the failed one installed without incidence. I've seen this before so it was no big deal.
Same thing on both PC's.
When I installed Win 7 on the wife's laptop a few months ago it gave me 48 updates. Since this was a new install I just let it fly and all 48 installed in one shot. I was expecting a big crash but all installed OK. So you just never know what you get.

Test driving a (New) refurbished laptop from Sam's Club.
Looked at updates and had 52 updates to install so I said what the heck and let it install all of them at one time. Not one gliche in installation.
I have 29 days left to check this lappy out so I am running all the tests I can to make sure it is worth the buy!
