Wsus Windows 2008 R2 x64 giving Error Code 80070490 on KB937723 update

My Windows Update service on one a w08r2 x64 box told me that I had an update.

So I checked and discovered that it was KB967723.

I ran the install but it failed with error code 80070490

After trying various solutions (such as turning off the Windows Update service and moving the log files) I finally manually downloaded the problematic file and installed it. No more problems. I don't know what was the issue - was it snagging the x86 version? was it getting the Vista one? Whatever triggered it, this resolved it.
