Backup Exec 11 - Update SERVICE PACK 5 failed to install

A customer's Backup Exec is unable to update. When we log in to Backup Exec we see the following:

"Update SERVICE PACK 5 failed to install. Review Backup Exec installation log for more information"

Looking in the BE installation log, I see the following:

What is the source of the patch? Is it a downloaded file, CD, network share, etc? I have seen problems depending on the source.
