Migrating from 2013 SP1 to 2013 SP1 HR1 in our windows server 2012 R2, we've got the following error when running the installer to apply the hotfix rollup to your Content Manager server. The error shown is:
Some or all identity references could not be translated
Any ideas? We've already updated the content manager db without problems.
The error was that we changed the machine name after the initial tridion installation.
Tridion installation wrote in the regedit the name of the machine. Then, the installation of the patch was failing.
We changed the regedit tridion value and then installed the patch successfully. We achieved to see that, executing a repair of the CM, which was failing, and seeing the log.
Googling the error message suggests that this is a problem related to your system's/account's folder permissions.

It maybe like some of the folder/directory the user you are logged in with doesn't have rights to grant permissions.
Try running the installer as an administrator when you right-click on it:
