Fresh install 10.6.0 wont Update to .6.8

[m2geek]

Hey guys I did a bit of searching around on the forums but couldn't find anything but basically my problem is:

Brand new fresh install of 10.6.0 on a Sandybridge 2500k on a Gigabyte Z68x-ud3h-b3(f4 bios) running a GTX460 and for the life of me I cant get it to install the Combo Update - even after running update helper. It goes though the process of validating files, then starts Writing files, and gets about 1/4 way though then spits the dummy saying "The installation Failed" contact the software maker blahblah blah.

I did as the guides said and it comes up with that.

This is what the install log spat out.

Would love if I could get the thing working properly

Got it sorted lol - helps if i read more clearly about mounting the thing rather than extracting it from the dmg lol.
