Though the error 1642 Says. "the program to be updraded may be missing" ,could not get the idea what update is missing.

Identified the issue because of patch KB2467659.This is required before KB2416400 install on target computers. via from http://support.micro....com/kb/2467659

Added the prerequisiste patch to the package and issue is resolved.
