I don't think the code is enough of a clue to get a solution just from it.
You are going to have to find some context for it in your install log.
Hint: search all files which were changed by the update, for both
the hex 3F0 and the decimal 1008 values. I'm suggesting you search
for only 3F0 even though there is the possibility of false positives being
found with it because sometimes in messages hex values are referenced
without the 0x prefix or even without the 8007 prefix and sometimes
just the decimal value is reported in the place where the code has
the most significant context.
Good luck
