i did all that, but i get the same error...!
i dont know if it's relevant, but when windows updates downloads the updates, the progress goes "normally" from 0% to 11% and then suddenly starts to install. I wonder if updates are downloaded properly/entirely?
You could try deleting the update files that were already downloaded.
Then run update again.
while trying to delete previously installed updates, i found out that the list is corrupted (only silverlight is in the list!) and moreover, when i go to "turn windows feature on/off", that list is also empty!
that brought me to this:
The "Windows Features" dialog box is empty in Windows 7 or Windows Vista, or you receive an error message that includes the following code when you try to use Windows Update: "0x80073712"
i ran the sfc, which found currupted files and stated to have fixed those. however, the issues are not solved (The "Windows Features" dialog box is empty, and i cant install updates).
This is getting more scary... any other idea?
thanks!
I'm starting to think a repair install could be the best possibility to solve this issue.

thanks kari, i didn't know about that. i'll try that, and if that fails... i'll just do a new intallation from scratch (the only consolation of this being 90 more days without having to activate...)
