For the highest probability of success I suggest two things ...

(1) Use the offline installer which is a 300 MB file (331,805,736) from here.

(2) Run this after a clean boot with no realtime anti-virus/malware programs running. It is best not to have any non-essential programs running (iTunes, printer-crapware, google, flash and other updaters, etc ...). If you know how to use it correctly, MSCONFIG can cause a very 'clean' boot.

I would avoid the Windows Update online install unless you have a radically fast connection, but even with one it can still fail because of interference from one of the many 3rd party programs that are running in addition to Windows.
