    Its possible that unknown error could be your wireless connection is weak since its a public network access. Is this Win XP and what service pack?

    View your pending updates and uncheck all leaving one mark then try installing a single update. If it still made certain errors, post the single update error code. I suggest directy connecting your computer by wired then try updating a couple of pending updates to see the difference.
