Update KB938979 fails

Since a few weeks WIndows update fails. It did cost me a lot of hours to
solve the problem, but without luck....

The KB938979 tries to install, system reboots, configures the system and
just before the logon screen my system reboots again, again configures the
system, then the logon screen appears.
After logon, my windows update shows the -just installed- update again and
the whole show starts over and over again.

I did remove the softwaredistribution folder as mentioned on the microsoft
site, but no luck.
Tried to download the file, and install it manually, but no luck.
Always the same symptomes.
At the mean time, also newer updates fail to install because of the first
one fails.

It is an annoying problem, because every startup will take at least 5
minutes because of the reboots and configuring.

Does anyone have _THE_ solution for me please?
