For the last couple weeks, I've tried about 10 times to install the update. Get the same error every time, been unable to find any solution online.

it may be that windows is reporting this error, because that particular update wasn't needed. In order to find out whether this is true, you'd have to manually check for updates using the control panel, instead of Windows 8 settings app. Here are the steps...

(You will need to be logged into an Administrator account, or have administrator access for the following procedure)
1. Right click the start menu, and choose Control Panel
2. In Control Panel, in the upper right, switch from Category view to Large Icons
3. Scroll down to the bottom of the control panel, and open Windows Update
4. Ignore the available update, and instead click on "Check for updates" in the upper left of the Windows Update window.

In my case, it removed that particular update from the list, (because it wasn't needed), and showed 9 more that were actually needed. Hope this helps.
