Okay.. It is due to errors from failed Windows Update..

Do one thing. Download and run this MS Fixit..

Try to install the Visual C++ 2008 redistributable package again and update us back.

Hmm.. :(

Okay. Try to run the Windows Update. Let us know does it happen without fail. If you get any errors, give us the complete details with the error.
