I did not have that update for whatever reason, and because of this, the quoted update didn't work. So I went back and manually updated 2919355, which indecently, was necessary for all future updates to Windows 8.1. So now I'm waiting for Windows update to check for all of the new updates I've missed (which is taking quite a while). This should solve Cjk's error because I ran into the same thing.
Now after all of my updating, WoR still doesn't work. So it seems that the only remaining issue is to install update 2999226, but its being cantankerous. I will post again when I have an update on my updates.
