In my case, the install failed due to KB954459 (MS08-069) for XML Core Services 6.0: November 11, 2008. In Add/Remove Programs, if you see MSXML 6.0 Service Pack 2 (KB954459) or some such thing, remove it. If that operation fails, as it did for me, use the Microsoft Windows Installer CleanUp Utility ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301 ) to remove it.

Run Windows Update again and, if successful, you will see in Add/Remove Programs that MSXML 6.0 Parser (KB933579) has been installed as part of the SQL Server 2005 EE SP3 update. If the update fails, go to Microsoft Downloads to download the SP3 update, which will install the MSXML 6.0 Parser when you run the downloaded file.
