Update problem

[bascule]

HI, had the same problem myself - this fixed it for me:-
go to c:\windows\system32 & find a
folder called catroot2. Rename it (make a note of the new
name in case you need to go back). Install the download
and a new, and hopefully working, catroot file will be
created. If not, keep the faith and if i find anything
else out ill let you know. :)
