The EXACT same thing happened to me, boom. I found the following page and
followed the instructions:

http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archi...10/502439.aspx

It does require one small download, linked to on the page. But I followed
the instructions and it fixed everything perfectly. If the updates you're
having trouble with are related to .NET -- mine were KB928366 and KB928367 --
then that site should fix your problem.

Good luck.
