Windows 2000 Update Installation Failure

I just reinstalled Windows 2000. I went to the Windows Update site and there were 60 updates found. During downloading my computer lost power. I turned it back on and continued the download. All of the updates installed except for 6 updates. I'm trying to install 6 updates on the website and I keep getting an installation failure code 0x8007010B. When I turn on automatic updates, they don't install. Can anyone give me advise on how to install these last updates? Thanks.

A search of the MS site for that code turns this up: 

ERROR_DIRECTORY 0x8007010B The directory name is not valid.  

I would say that in general whenever a power failure occurs during any software installation 
that the installation is suspect and toast. Who knows what file errors/corruption 
happened when the lights went out? I suggest that starting over will be faster than 
trying to recover from probably unrecoverable errors.
