@Arc I know the OP has already tried the in-place repair but he had trouble doing it. I agree that this is the what he needs to do next but I just wanted to check that he had the most recent cumulative update before trying again. I think it will work, the problem is the install appears to stop and then people panic and start trying to intervene. I think if MS put a better message up and indicated that things were still happening people would let the system finish what it was doing during the installation. It can take quite a long time to complete.
