Still the same problem. When I run the SP update, it prompts me to restart each time and was unable to start the installation.

I located an MS MVP blog that did discuss resolving this issue, using xcalcs to correct a permissions issue, but darned if I can locate it again. It actually was the only discussion I located where the person solved the problem. Still looking.

Feel free to search yourself for the blog I mentioned. Just don't recall the exact terms I used to locate it. It is an individual's blog, and mentions using xcalcs to locate the permissions problem. Fixing that solved the update error.

Tried running the fix in the link that you've provided. But still unable to perform Windows Update or install the Service Pack either.
Tried googling around. Could it be this page?

Bingo - you found it!
Copy/paste the above text (inside the Code box) into the open text box, then save this to your desktop as "xcalcs.bat"
Be sure to include the "" quotes in the name. Then click on xcalcs.bat.
The scan should run, then open Notepad. Copy/paste those contents back here (they will also be saved as c:\log.txt).
If that fails, right click xcalcs.bat, and select "Run as administrator". I am on an XP system right now, so not able to test if that is an option.

Likely won't work - I just checked on a 7 system. Use this instead:
@ECHO OFF cd\ icacls c:\ > c:log.txt && c:\log.txt

I will be travelling for a few days. Will try it once I'm back and post an update.

A cliff hanger. Travel well, and post back when ready.

My UAC settings are already set to the lowest value in the Control Panel. I also checked the RegEdit method. The values are already set to "0".
Anyhow, I reboot after clicking "Ok". And still can't update Windows.

Sorry, I'm still coming up to speed on the use of icacls again. I will post a fix tomorrow.

Shoot, I did a fair amount of work on icacls, but when I came back here, I only just saw your log actually shows the correct entry:
BUILTIN\Users:(OI)(CI)(RX)
So matches what that link you posted earlier describes as the correct entry.
And in an earlier CAT log I now see:
So no way that reset Windows update.

From this web page. Not quite sure it will succeed as a batch file.
Copy/paste the above text (inside the Code box) into the open text box, then save this to your desktop as "fix1.bat"
Be sure to include the "" quotes in the name. Then click on fix1.bat.
A command window will open, and run those commands. It may baulk at some of those "regsvr32.exe" lines, so choose "Skip" if it offers that.
When it has completed, reboot and try updating again.
