Resolution:

We did the following steps to fix the issue:

Go to the Registry editor and look for the following registry:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Currentversion\Installer\Userdata\s-1-5-18\Components\8E3C0E87D7E8DD112AB3E847658D5939\C28643E881181F13CBC489DC69571E2C

Right click the Key C28643E881181F13CBC489DC69571E2C

Select “Permissions”

Made sure that the user account (who has Administrative permissions) that is used to log in and the “SYSTEM” accounts have the full control on this registry.

Once the permissions were given the installation of the updates went on fine.
