Hi,
I was unable to execute the command
Ren %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 catroot2.bak as the file was in use. I realized that I need to stop the Cryptograpghic Service in order to free the file. Hence I executed the additional command
net stop cryptsvc before I could execute the last command that you have mentioned. After restarting the system, I tried to install the update again, and it once again failed with the same error.
