If it happens randomly, meaning at different points within the update
and doesn't seem to be the same file each time, then I recommend trying
to disable the antivirus software on your workstation and doing the
update. Some antivirus software will hold files open after applications
have closed them resulting in seemingly spurious errors such as the
above.
