Update for KB 947864 failing

I'm builind a new XP PC for a new hire and I updated it to SP3 and then did a
Windows Update. The last update that it found is a security update for IE7
based on KB 947864. I 've tried several times to install this update. Iused
a domain admin logon and the administrator logon, but no success. It does
not even give me an error, it just says it failed. When I went to the update
history, the failed update was not even listed. I usually depend on that to
determine what is wrong. Does anyone know of a incompatibility between this
update and SP3? For the present I just hid the update, but that is less than
desigable. any suggestions for how to approach the problem? With no error
message I'm at a loss.

I had the same problem after installing SP3. Go to this link, follow the
instructions and this should fix it:

Thanks. That worked really well. I was poking around in another newsgroup
and found a bunch of messages on this problem. MS should tell people about
the possiblity of this happending. Still the 943144 did the trick. Much
Thanks.

I had no problem in installing the IE7 patch after installing SP3 although I
was told to apply the IE7 patch before SP3
