I tried to install the update and keep getting vague error messages. I follow all the directions and advice, no luck. I even ran the uninstaller, restarted and tried again.

There can be any number of things that cause the "normal" updater to malfunction. Most common is (I assume with Windows-Mac converts) antivirus or 3rd party firewall software installed, neither of which are necessary, because there are no viruses for Mac OS and OS X has it's own firewall which is quite effective when enabled.
