Are you rebooting after it? FWIW my log shows that it wasn't necessary
but it looks to me that it might help complete the update. However, I didn't check
at the time to see how the modules were replaced or when they updated ones
actually became active.

How big is your KB948881.log? Post the last iteration of it to help generate more ideas.
