Crystal ball failed to advise what OS you're using.

Win XP -

0x800706BE RPC_S_CALL_FAILED = The remote procedure call failed.

Checkpoints:

Make sure the services mentioned below are not disabled on startup:

Go to Start > Run > type in :  service.msc

Click OK or press Enter

Automatic Updates /Automatic

Background Intelligent Transfer Service / Manual or Automatic

Remote Procedural Call (RPC) / Automatic

Also click on the Log On tab and ensure that there is a Profile listed under Hardware Profile and that it is Enabled.

Vista perhaps -

800706BE

Make sure your Anti-Virus is disabled and attempt the update again, if this still fails try updating in a clean boot environment:
