XP updates - Validation Tool

I am trying to install the following, as it seems necessary before I can
continue with security updates:

Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool (KB892130)

But it fails each time.

I have been through a similar process before (some months ago) successfully,
and I know that my copy of XP (SP) is genuine - I've been successfully
updating security patches automatically until a day or so ago.

Anyone any ideas why this Validation Tool should fail to install?
