If you have NEVER had an update, re-install. If you have had updates use
System Restore.

Here is one solution I found:



This problem occurs when the Windows Update agent file Wups2.dll is
registered incorrectly in the registry. Because the registry files that
correspond to the Wups2.dll file are missing, update installations are
unsuccessful. There are two methods to resolve this issue, use method
one first and if it did not resolve your issue, proceed to method 2
*Method 1: Register the Windows Update files *
1. Click *Start *and then type *notepad* in the *Start Search*
box.
2. Click *Notepad* in the *Programs* list.
3. Copy the following commands, and then paste them into the
opened Notepad window:
*REGSVR32 WUPS2.DLL /S
REGSVR32 WUPS.DLL /S
REGSVR32 WUAUENG.DLL /S
REGSVR32 WUAPI.DLL /S
REGSVR32 WUCLTUX.DLL /S
REGSVR32 WUWEBV.DLL /S
REGSVR32 JSCRIPT.DLL /S
REGSVR32 MSXML3.DLL /S*
::1. In Notepad, on the *File* menu, click *Save As*. ::
::2. In the *Save as type* list, click *All Files*. ::
::3. In the *File name* box, type *register.bat*. ::
::4. Save the Register.bat file to your desktop. ::
::5. Right-click the Register.bat file, and then click *Run as
administrator*.Collapse this imageExpand this imageIf you are prompted
for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password
or click *Continue*. ::
::6. Try to install updates again.::

I've also read that many time just turning off UAC will work but I
confirm that. Might be worth a try before messing with the registry.
