I cannot get my system to install the update in KB898461. I use auto-update,
but each time I try to install it, it goes about 1/3 of the way, pauses, then
blasts to the end and announces it has failed (sans any error code). I have
also tried installing it using the Windows Update site, and it fails using
that method as well. Finally, I went straight to the KB and attempted to
install it from there (after allowing my copy of Windows XP to be verified as
legitimate for about the 10,000th time). Again, it failed. I have had no
other issues ever with updating, and in fact, installed several other
unrelated updates today. It's just this package. I can't figure out if there
is some setting on my machine causing the problem, or if there is a general
problem with this update that Microsoft has yet to realize or announce.
Anyone else having issues with this or have any ideas what might be going on?
