I usually find it's a problem with the Java installation, not the updater itself. When it gets this bad I have to resort to:
  1. Make a note of all your ignored files, selected variants and settings if you can.
  2. Uninstall all copies of Java from the machine.
  3. Remove the Java directories from Program Files and Program Files (x86).
  4. Delete the updater's desktop icon if it's still there.
  5. Reboot the machine.
  6. Reinstall the latest version(s) of Java. If on 64-bit Windows, install the 32-bit versions first and then install the 64-bit packages.
  7. Configure Java to not auto-update itself. Do updates manually.
  8. Reboot the machine.
  9. Go to updater.pala.de and launch the application. Make sure to open the .jnlp file, don't save it.
  10. Let the updater install itself and create it's icon.

When Java needs updated, download and install the new versions manually. Do them in the same order, 32-bit first and then 64-bit if you're on 64-bit Windows.
