Are you using Norton Anti Virus v9.05.15?
If you are there is an option to enable/disable Script Blocking. Disable it.
Then perform your update.

Hope it help. I had this same problem until I was looking into another
problem.

Apparently the last time this question was answered an insufficient number
of votes for the usefulness of the information given in the replies were given
