   Windows XP Home, SP3   
      
   I just wiped a system and reinstalled XP Home from a licensed copy in   
   the box.  All seemed well at the start.   
      
   I installed Office 2001 (this is an old machine for use at home), and   
   after allowing MS Update/Windows Update to do its thing all seemed   
   pretty OK.   
      
   Anyway, I got to KB954459 in Windows/MS Updates which is a security   
   patch.   
      
   No matter what I do, I cannot get it to install.  I tried using   
   Windows Update, going to the update site and manually selecting it,   
   etc.  Each time it tells me the installation fails.   
      
   I then went to the individual KB files and downloaded a copy and   
   attempted to manually run the installer and got a message that the   
   file is corrupted {File Corrupted!}.  I picked up the copy that was   
   specifically labeled for Windows XP, SP3.   
      
   Is this patch already rolled up elsewhere ?   
      
   I'm about ready to check it off to be ignored and call it a day if so.   
      
   This is the only Windows update that seems to be refusing to install   
   after multiple attempts.  I did have one other fail but I was able to   
   manually install that on its own (not as a part of several) from   
   Windows Updates.
