What worked for me, with a similar Update Manager loop (Win XP):

(PC had been running ok, then Installer/Update Manager started asking for a disk;

I did nothing to cause this error. Appears to be looking for ISUS.msi but giving it new ones didn't help.

Couldn't figure out what program it was trying to install.

It appears registry keys may have gotten corrupted during last update.)
