Install this update to resolve an issue in which AutoRun features were not correctly disabled. After you install this item, you may have to restart your computer.

Have you tried installing it with your anti-virus turned off? Messing with autorun seems like something that would make the anti-virus program go crazy.

You could download the patch from MS onto your hard drive (so you know you've got the proper item, instead of anything possibly dodgy), turn off your internet connection, turn off 3rd party anti-virus/firewalls, install the patch, reboot. Turn your anti-virus stuff back on, if it didn't start up in the reboot.

Other than that, I don't have a clue.

If you Google it a lot of people are having the same problem: it seems to be a bug in the update.

There's some advice here and here
