Interesting.

Well I took a look into the log file as you suggested.

At the very bottom there is this error code:

5.078: Update.exe extended error code = 0xf201

That's the last line.

That error code doesn't 'seem' to exist when i Google it and associate it
with the KB896688 update.

NOTE3: I also have not changed any of the environment variables.
NOTE4: Re-checking: Program Files is indeed still in the C:\ drive.

Wonder what this could be...
