OK couple of things to try:
1
Check: Method 3: Install the update in Safe Mode
here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910339

2
Try is removing .NET in add-remove programs, reinstall it from Microsoft,
and then try windows update again. Take note of the .NET versions you are
removing so that you can re-install them from here:

Check the advice here about re-installing .NET frameworks .. they must be
done in the correct order:
4. Download the following components:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976982

note: the link to the '.Net Cleanup Utility' does not work on the above
page, so go ahead to add-remove programs in control panel.
