I had 5 updates, 3.5 MB and also the request to allow the
installer to pass the firewall several times (XP Pro/OE 6).

The download from Windows Updates using V4 engine is only
667KB, however that's only a stub. It downloaded something
else after it started to install, as evidenced by my
firewall prompt (first time I've seen that prompt in this
installation.) My Add/Remove entry shows 0.8 MB.
The Security Bulletin download probably contains all
possible required, prerequisite components.
