Why can't I get 10.8.4 to install?

So for about the past month, I've been trying to get the latest update of Mac OS 10.8.4 to install on my MacBook Pro. Whenever I hit update in the app store, the update downloads and then I hit restart computer to install the update. Every single time, my Mac restarts but the update never installs. It is like the computer forgets to install it and just does a regular restart. Do you guys know of any fixes to get this update to install?

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)

I've seen a few threads on here discussing the same problem. I believe downloading and installing the combo should fix it:

If you're running 10.8.3, download and install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1658

If you're running something earlier in the 10.8 series, or that gives you an issue, download and install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1659
