The general recommendation in the FAQ Prof. Ripley mentions works for me; so
does switching of User Account Control (english?) totally. This may not be
feasible for you on a corporate laptop. I tried the following method: Download
the updates locally, remove the chm folder, install from local zip file. Works
for some packages, but when a DLL is included, the story starts again, and you
cannot remove these. 

So, sorry, currently no simple solution for corporate laptops where you don't
have full rights.
