I was having the same problem just a few minutes ago. My comp updated to windows
update v6 this morning and sometime between then and now I turned off
the JIT compiler for virtual machine (in internet options)... I turned it back on and
....voila, it worked. Coincidence? I dunno. Try it if you have it turned off.

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.
