    What I did is, I ran the DSUW, select the patches I need
    for XP SP1 and advertise it to a particular collection.
    The switches used were \z \q for all the selected security
    patches. The patchinstall.log on the client reprted a
    successful installation as well as the web report and
    system status of the advertisment. In the resource
    explorer the status of the chosen patches as still showing
    as applicable even after the H/W and S/W inventory. After
    two days I found some folder with dumy names created on
    the advertised PCs which contain the executables of the
    patches. I tried to ran one of them and from the xceution
    process it seems like the patches didn't executed
    before??!! Any Advice
