Windows VMs remediation fails

I'm trying to remediate some of my Windows VMs (ESX remediation goes well) but I receive similar errors for every VM:

Remediation failed for VM_name1: Failed to install following pathes: .NET Framework 2.0 - SP1 1, .NET Framework 2.0 - SP2 2, MS07-040, MS08-052, MSWU-116, MSWU-179, MSWU-225

or

Remediation failed for VM_name2: Failed to install following patches: MSWU-116, MSWU-179, MSWU-225, SQL Server Desktop Engine (MSDE) 2000 - SP4 4

etc.

Here what I see in the logs:

I'm getting the exact same issue, primarily for .Net Framework service packs. Would love to hear if you've got a solution.

Cheers,

-Martin
