I'm wondering if you aren't seeing an erroneous error message
for a different reason.

Your OS is XPsp2 which natively does not contain MSJava.
Therefore, I think that you would not be able to install that patch
unless you already have a version of MSJava to update.

Let's check for that case. Try to Run... wjview and tell us your results.

If you don't have wjview (or the jview command line tool)
you probably don't have MSJava at all, in which case any
error code might be used in place of whatever message
a manual installer would receive to tell them that the update
could not be used.
