Yup. Does this mean Archive&Install is the right solution?

I would try downloading and installing the very latest Mac OS X Combo
updater from Apple first.

What he said.

Thanx, guys. I downloaded the updater with Explorer since Safari is
dead. Tried to run it and got "The application Installer quit
unexpectedly" at step 2. No update for me. Now is Arch&Install the only
alternative? Would it help?

Are you sure you downloaded the right one for your Mac?

Try booting in safe mode and installing it.
