After some long days of fruitlessly searching, I stumbled across https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkVantage-Technologies/Install-of-Sytem-update-fails-with-MSI-installer-Error-997/td-p/1802731. It says there to uninstall KB2918614, KB3000988 and KB3008627. That did the trick for me.
Apparently, the culprit is KB3008627 as I didn't uninstall that one in my previous attempts.
