Visual Studio 2013 Update 1 - Not installing

I have just had a major "incident" with my PC and have had to rebuild. I took the opportunity to install VS2013 (previous was 2012) and I installed the latest version from MSDN (en_visual_studio_ultimate_2013_x86_dvd_3175319.iso)

After all up and running, it tells me Update 1 is available and I have tried all sorts to try and install but each time, the Visual Studio Banner label pops up and then disappears in less than a second.

I have tried all sorts of permutations such is downloading inside/outside Visual Studio, launching inside/outside VS, downloading full ISO (rather that web installer) etc.

Help->About says v12.0.21005.1 REL

Am running Win 8 x64

Any suggestions?

In my case there was no C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\machine.config file. There was only machine.config.default. So I copy it and rename to machine.config. Works fine :)

Using commentary from above from @leshy84 the log files showed Error 0x80131902: Failed to run per-user mode.

Researching that then pointed me to http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/1220584d-2576-4d64-8359-a946ca208041/cant-install-vs-2012-on-win7-enterprise?forum=vssetup and what worked for me was

  1. Remove .Net 3.5 and 4.0 from Programs and Features
  2. Reboot
  3. Re-add .Net 3.5/4
  4. Reboot
  5. Install Update 1

Try to delete all files/folders in C:\ProgramData\Package Cache ("%ProgramData%\Package Cache") and install the update again
