Workflow Manager CU2 Update - One of the custom actions failed. The installation cannot continue. See log for details

Question

Hi,
I have installed the following on my windows server 2012:
Sharepoint2013
Workflow Manager 1.0: installed and configured
Service Bus 1.0
Service Bus 1.0 CU Update 1
I'm now trying to install the CU2 of workflow manager but I'm getting the following error message in the log file:
[09/01/14 08:02:10] Starting process "C:\Windows\system32\..\sysnative\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -NoLogo -NonInteractive -NoProfile -WindowStyle Hidden -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -File UnifiedWFHotfixUpgrade.PS1 -HotfixType "S"

[09/01/14 08:02:13] Process exit code is -1.

The reason why I need to install this update is to resolve the following error message I'm getting when I try to register workflow service:
PS C:\Users\Administrator> Register-SPWorkflowService -SPSite "http://tcorigli-d
ev01:48668" -WorkflowHostUri "http://tcorigli-dev01:12291" -AllowOAuthHttp

Hi,
For a better troubleshooting, I suggest you do as follows:
1.Try to install Service Bus 1.1 before update CU2.
http://www.wictorwilen.se/issue-when-installing-workflow-manager-1.0-refresh-using-powershell
2.PowerShell 3.0 must be installed on the computer to be updated.
3.Check whether install Workflow Manager Client 1.0 on your computer.
4.Make sure you have administrative credentials on the computer.
If the issue still exists, you can also open a ticket to Microsoft Support to get more specific suggestions according to the actual scenario in your environment:
