When I tried to update using Windows Update, it just "hangs" at the "Installing" step.

When I downloaded the patch and ran it myself, a console screen just pops up and disappears, and does nothing.

EDIT:

I just installed it, but after checking for updates, it's still on the list. When I tried reinstalling it, I get error 84C4000B. I deleted the files in the downloaded install folder, rebooted my PC and tried again. It's now stuck again.

I'm now trying another patch. This time its the Security Update for SQL Server 2008 R2 (KB2494088), and in my logs, it's been stuck in "Updates to install = 1", just like it did for SP1.

Please see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/906602. This could be one of many things. That wizard will assist you with some possible solutions. In order to troubleshoot this type of issue we would need the exact error.

You can only install the patches on SQL Server 2008 R2. Be careful, if it's not an SQL Server 2008 R2, you can't update the patches.

I uninstalled SQL 2008 R2 and reinstalled with default settings (as customizing them resulted in other problems). I was able to update it to SP1 without any more issues.
