No, it doesn't download again, simply goes straight to install, then the error as described.....

*Edit: found them in User/<username>/AppData/Local/Microsoft/WebSetup. Fingers crossed this time.

Not a hot deal but thought I'd post this since everyone's Talking Windows...

 

 

So far as I know you can only get adblock, as an add-on for chrome & firefox (no such thing for Internet explorer).

Usually I'd tell people to just use chrome but IE10 isn't half bad...except for the annoying advertising.

For those who have become early adopters of Windows 8 & are activley using IE10 (metro browser).

I've come across a great trick. Blocking ads (including youtube ads). I've outlined the instructions below.

 

Visit:

http://www.fanboy.co.nz/ie.html

In the top left hand side of the site you'll see a box saying:Fanboy Adblock List for Internet Explorer 9

In this box click: ADD TPL.

This will Block all those, helping to make your PC faster.
