I got an answer below from a very reliable source.

 

This issue may occur because of corrupt contents of WUTemp folder or the present

version of MDAC installed in your system is not upgraded. There are few basic

things I would like to do to 'clean' your system off and see if that resolves your

issue.

 

First of all please change your folder options to show all files.

 

1. Click Start, then click Settings, and then click Folder Options.

2. Click the Tools tab. Under Hidden files and folders, click "Show hidden files

and folders."

3. Click OK to save these settings.

 

Let’s clear out the temporary storage locations.

 

1. Click on Start, then settings and then click on Control Panel. Double-click on

Internet Options

2. On the General tab, in the Temporary Internet Files section, click on Delete

Files. Check the box to 'Delete all Offline Content' and click OK.

3. Close the Internet Options window.

 

Next, we need to clear out the Windows Update folder.

 

1. Double click on My Computer from the Desktop.

2. Open the C drive

3. Open the Program Files folder

4. Open the WindowsUpdate folder

5. Open the V4 folder and delete everything in it except for the iuhist.xml file

6. Delete everything you find in this folder, including subfolders.

7. Close this window

 

Next, we need to check the WUTemp folder.

 

1. Click Start, then click Search, and then click For Files or Folders.

2. Type “WUtemp” without the quotation marks

3. Make sure that the Look In option indicates “Local Hard Drives”.

4. Click the Search button

5. When the search is complete, delete all copies of the WUTemp folder.

 

Then install the KB831167 update from the link given:

After installing the update, restart the system and go to Windows update site and

see KB831167 is still reoffered.

resolve it.
