Problem with S10 Update Manager

Hi,

The green shield at the bottom right of the screen says 'Updates Available', so I click on it to get the latest updates. Then I select the first update in the list by clicking the checkbox and then clicking 'Install Update'.
After a few seconds of trying to install the update an error message appears, saying:

'Utility used to install the update failed with exit code 997. Patch is not available in the patch directory.'

This occurs if I select a single update, or all 46 of them.

I attempted the updates straight after downloading and burning the latest S10 DVD (x86) so it is strange why this should be happening. Any help would be much appreciated.
