Are you signed on with Adminstrative privileges?
You can try this, not sure if it will help
Right click the MyComputer Icon and left click properties
Open the Hardware Tab and then click the Driver Signing
Set to Warn instead of Block if that is how it is set
Also, before installing DirectX, be sure to set a new Restore Point
Go to START>>ALL Programs>>Accessories>>System Tools>>System Restore
Create a Restore point
Name it and click Create

I wonder if it has anything to do with Video drivers installed on the machine aren't Microsoft signed so they won't let you update
I wouldn't get my Video Drivers from Microsoft, I stick with the manufacturer
EG>>Ati or Nvidia
Try this if you can
Go to START<<RUN>>type in dxdiag and hit ok
Let it load
See if there is a check in "Check for WHQL digital Signatures"
If there is uncheck it
Also see if you have any problems in there
Log off and back on again
Try updating again
Make sure you are trying from Microsoft
If no go I'll take a further look
May not be till tomorrow, New Years Eve and all

Can you let me know what Video card you have in your computer
or the computer itself
Do you know what Video Card you have?
This may help
Download Belarc Advisor

System model and Serial number
I know Nvidia has WHQL certified drivers
What model of computer do you have?
You should be able to find that info
Right click the MY Computer icon and left click properties
Info is under the General Tab
or it may be stamped on the front of the Computer
