I am having the exact same problem.

If someone could post a list of services (besides automatic updates BITS
event log) that are needed to install this patch?

I installed the temporary fix that was floating around the net however I
removed it before trying to update from Windows Update.

I then re-registered the DLL that the Security Bulletin indicated I should
unregister.

For some reason I still cannot updates from Windows Update.

I do not see how Microsoft #1 leaves horrible security holes on peoples
machines and #2 cannot even get their website working.

Complete disgrace.
