This problem seems to come up a lot - the very first version of Stata 8 has 
trouble updating to the latest version.  So, follow the directions for 
updating as if Stata doesn't have access to the Internet.  Then hopefully, 
subsequent updates will go fine.  See

Make sure you update both the ados and the executable.
