Install Windows Patch via GPO

I want to deploy the KB958644 security patch to all my machines via GPO. I
downloaded the .exe. I know I have to add a script to Computer Configuration
- Windows Settings - Scripts (Startup). As a test I made a batch file (called
patch.cmd) with the below contents:
\\server-name\public\WindowsXP-KB958644-x86-ENU.exe
....and I added this batch file to the scripts in the above GPO without any
parameters.

I set the above GPO on the OU that has my test computer, and I have
restarted that computer many times so the GPO kicks in. I also did a gpupdate
on both the server and the machine. But nothing is happening. What am I doing
wrong?
Server - Server 2003 SP2
Computer - XP Pro SP3
.
