This might help for above Problems ... had exact same problem with the same
errors after I downloaded the standalone from the website. First I turned
off my security program (Zone Alarm). Then I noticed that the error message
had a retry option. Chose that and the download progressed to the next error.
Chose the retry option again. I think this happened a few times each time
choosing the retry option. It kept progressing through the update until it
finally finished. Everything is good now.
