Me too. Been trying for days. Win 7 Ultimate 64bit, Office 2010 32bit.
Tried full download/install, removing all .Net and any other fix I've read about apart from the only one which seems to work which is a complete OS reinstall. Quite frankly, I can't be bothered (and shouldn't have to!!!!) format my machine to get an Office update to install....

Enable the full Windows Installer Logging (see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/223300), delete everything from you %temp% folder and try the installation again.
Examine the created log files and search for Error 1935. Maybe you could use the hints at http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2004/11/10/255346.aspx

I have the same problem. Win 7 Professional 32bit, Office 2010 32 bit.
Cannot find a way to process the SP1 update. Tried Windows update, stand-alone, etc... I have 5 PCs. Only one got this issue. No clue why. Never had any issue with the specific PC before...

Hi
Office 2010 Service Pack 1 - 5 Common questions regarding the Service Pack
Common Problem: “The installation of this package failed” due to not enough disk space
This is the generic error dialog that appears when an unknown error occurs during installation. The majority of these failures are related to not having enough space on the system drive. The download size for Microsoft Office 2010 Service Pack 1 x86 is 361 MB, however with extraction (%temp%) and windows installer caching (%windir%), the amount of disk space required for installation is around 1.3 GB.
If freeing up disk space does not solve the issue, please read the following KB article KB954713 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/954713)
Please take your time to try the suggestions and let me know the results at your earliest convenience. If anything is unclear or if there is anything I can do for you, please feel free to let me know.
Best Regards,

I found several errors in the opatchinstall.log file--most of htem indicating a failure creating a TEMP folder.
Error Code Values
17303
17302
17021
17023
17024
The system has plenty of disk space (184GB) and there are no pending installations requiring a reboot. I will run the setup with the /LOG switch and post the results.
Thanks.
