Actually, that PC is quite devoid of sofware/service as I use more and more portable apps these days.

Hm, sounds like that Windows install is hosed in some way (that does happen, even with Win7), so a plausible solution would be to start with a clean slate.
Backup all data you want to keep, then format the C: partition. Then re-install Windows and the applications you really need to install. The portable apps you still have, so not much is lost or left to do there.
Shades:
Re-installing becomes quickly the only option that is left, I am afraid. :(
Tried to give the application wusa.exe unrestricted access using the security policy editor (secpol.msc), then tried SubInACL to fix the likely broken ACL's. As this got me nowhere I read more from the link above and saw in one of the comments that it is not working on 64-bit systems. But there is a suggestion to use CACL to try to elevate that app, but each time the result is the same: "access is denied".
Even the last ditch attempt to install: copying the wusa.exe executable and every other file showing up in DependencyWalker into the extraction folder and re-execute the command-line mentioned in an earlier post, proved to be fruitless.

Terraria is 50% off on Steam today (July 10th). I haven't tried it mind you, so this is not a reccomendation, just a note :Thmbsup:.

There is a procedure for completely removing Windows Update and WIndows Installer in Windows 7 and reinstalling then from clean. I used them last week and found the details on MS Technet - sorry I didn't keep the link.
Jibz:
And it's 50% off again today (August 10th).
