If you can't installer to work to install the appropriate combo update for your version of OS X, try installing it from the command line. As per this article, execute something similar to the following in a Terminal window (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app):

Code:

sudo installer -pkg Downloads/ComboUpdate.pkg -target /

That commands assume the combo update is called ComboUpdate.pkg and is in your Downloads directory.

When asked for your password, although it looks like nothing is showing up, type your password.
