Thanks... that's not it anywhere... looked already.

It has installed sucessfully... twice. The site still
thinks it has not. On two PCs now, plus the others who
have posted here on the same patch.

Waaaaaaaay back when XP was first released, there was a
bug in a patch that did not change a registry flag. It
went on for days till MS fixed it... I think they did it
again.

Yo... MS??
