    Same problem here.  Trying to install remotely to a laptop (before I do my desktop) and this is scaring me.

    I was having the same problem. I tried multiple times and no luck. I went to windows update and installed all of the updates that were listed, then went back to the App Store and tried the update and finally it worked.
