Hello,
Just now I got the same error as you did while installing a new package with the Package Manager:
---
MiKTeX Problem Report
Message: Windows API error 87: The parameter is incorrect.
Data: C:\ProgramData\MiKTeX\2.8\miktex\config\1567d83d412396067c84a669e65114a0.fndb
---
While googling for a solution I found your post, without a solution :(, I know this answer won't help you but for the sake of future people googling for a solution to this problem:
It turns out the problem was, I had an instance of MikTex open which was blocking the files needed for the install. After I closed the MikTex instance the install worked fine.
Greetings,
Marius

Hi there,
this is my first post to this list, and i suspect it to be redundant and
already answered, but somehow I can't access the archives. Sourceforge
tells me
> Your mailing list, miktex-users, appears to be either not archived yet, or has had no e-mails sent to it. If it is a new list, please wait 2-4 hours after the first message is sent for the archive to show up.
Now to the problem:
I try to update miktex, but after downloading it always fails with the
following error: "Error: Windows API error 87: The parameter is incorrect."
The line before (from the log) reads: "extracting files from
bidi.tar.lzma..."
I hope you have a solution to this problem,
kind regards,
Till
