this one update always fails, i've been trying to download it for so long but there's always an error message with a code. I downloads all other updates but not this security update. I've tried microsoft online trouble shooter but cant seem to fix the problem. 

Anyway i have a couple copies of the update file name with the error code,

    Hi!

    Here: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/security/en-US/ab13020b-adbd-4d51-9e21-8e29ebf38108/can-not-install-this-update-for-kb2667402-windows-7-professional-i-tried-various-fixit-but-it-did?forum=MBSA

    Chuckles One suggests: Check that the download hasn't already been installed - look in the Installed Updates listing for an entry.  If it exists there, uninstall it, and then force a Check For Updates and retry the install.

    Perhaps that works for you, too...

    Cheers
