Security Update KB956572 install fails continually
We're updating our XP SP3 desktops using WSUS 3.0. Today during the first
round of patch testing we found that the patch for KB956572 wouldn't install.
In checking the install log for the patch, it seems to be failing because
NTDLL.DLL is in use. Running the update manually produces the same result.
Any ideas where to look in order to fix this? TiA

Not just security software. See also "KB956572 fails to install on SBS 2003 server"
There the symptom looks like it could be caused by a driver or driver
support software. (I have a vague recollection of an HP Printer driver
or its software doing something like this before.) Safe mode could
inhibit stuff like that too.

That gave me the cue I needed. In the case of a client of mine, Drive Image
7 (precursor of recent editions of Norton Ghost) was removed, and the update
installed successfully after that.
