Hi,

Open Windows Explorer to C:\Windows\system32, right-click/rename the
catroot2 folder to catold. Then retry the installation.

Keep trying. They sometimes don't install the first time.

Thanks everyone. I got the fix from Jason (MVP) Tsang. For others, I am
posting it ... hope it's ok?

See this page for a fix

Errors Occur When You Try to Install Updates from the Windows Update Web
Site
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;817753

Afterwards, installing the Q817287: Critical Update (Catalog Database
Corruption in Microsoft Windows XP) fix will stop this above issue from
happening again

Yes, and thank you for the feedback.

FFI.....

What that article has you do is delete a file in the catroot2 folder.
Following my suggestion would have achieved the same thing.
