"Files required to use Microsoft Update are no longer registered or installed on your computer. To continue:
Register or reinstall the files for me now "

Try this url

http://update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en

For it to work you will be prompted to download and install Windows Genuine Advantage validation tool. Once done, run the above url again and you should be good to go.
