did you read the message when it said it didn't install?

some updates have to be run as a solo update...

Had the same problem and this is what i did....I uninstalled all updates to the IE8....then i uninstalled IE8...so my computer and your computer will automatically go back to IE7....then downloaded the IE 8 again....and when you do this...the other updates will already be in the download so you don't have to worry about the security updates....its a pain in the butt to do this...but it should only take about 30 minutes of your time.............

Try to remove the downloads and start over.
