Hello,
Just solved the issue here, manually create the folder C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2017a\appdata\components and C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2017a\appdata\products
Best Regards

Hi,
I have exactly the same problem on a fresh installation of Matlab R2017a. Help would be appreciated!

Did you have that release of MATLAB installed before you tried to use the updater?
I had installed R2017a. It is not the first time that I install R2017a and then the update 3, but it is the first time that I find this issue.
