I re-named the catroot folder to catroot2 and it worked for me, but I am not
sure about your case....I don't want to give bad advice, this is just what I
done to resolve my problem with the update
To do that, right click start, explore, expand windows folder, look for
system32, expand that folder and look for the catroot folder and re-name it.
