I cannot believe how simple this was to fix, after a month of searching I
finally found a thread that contained the fix.

1) disable your Firewall and Anti-virus software (not certain this has
anything to do with it) but I followed these instructions exactly and was
successful.

2) Turn off User account control(UAC) . Restart the computer. you will be
able to install the updates. If not install those updates manually. It should
work.

To turn off User account control(UAC), click on start-> control panel-> user
accounts-> Turn user account control on or off-> Uncheck the box provided->
Click on OK and restart the computer . (In the case of windows 7 UAC
adjustment, bring slider control allthe way down to the bottom (UAC
diasabled) Then restart pc. Then try your windows update. It worked for me...

Be certain to re-enable anti-virus and firewall, and UAC if you so choose.
Here is the thread where I found the answers:
