It had to be something other then windows update error as nothing would work, iso wouldnt work, running set up from mounted iso wouldnt work, windows update wouldnt work, the microsoft tool wouldnt work..
Basically that error is an update error, not sure if can fall into category of any updating or upgrading if it's accessing anything from internet. Glad you have it resolved, hard to say then what caused it since fresh install of Windows 8.
