Sirs

I use MiKTeX 2.9 since several years (2011 09 21 on the present PC)
and I update regularly: last time 2015 05 03.
My system is Windows XP SP3 32bits.

When trying a  new update yesterday it failed, with a message upon
copystart_admin failing.
Looking into the miktex\bin\internal directory which contains it and 
comparing with a recent whole disk backup (2015 07 04) I see that 
several files in this directory have disappeared.
I restored all the content of the "Program Files\MikTeX 2.9" directory 
from the backup: same problem.
After a new restoration I succeeded to "thoroughly" uninstall MiKTeX.

I then tried to reinstall it with basic-miktex-2.9.5105.exe (the last 
one downloaded from the site)
It failed giving the following setup-2015-07-30-09-30.log report

Same problem when trying with the net installer downloaded into a 
repository on an external hard drive.

Someone has had the same problem ?
What can I do ?
