This actually works, I was having the same problem.
Thanks Ben


Hi

For WinXP, renaming or deleting the Catroot2 folder may
solve the problem.

Go to http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;326815

Follow the steps 6 to 8 in the Resolution section of
above link (do a reboot
first so the computer is "fresh" before you do the steps).

Then try to install the update again.


The link above is for SP1, but the Catroot2 problem is
now also surfacing in
recommended/critical updates and not only for the SP1
upgrade.


If that doesn't help, try this:

Check your "windows update.log" file for specific error
code (the log file
is in your windows folder) and take look at this Web page:
