(I think the whole think was trigger when I had a chinese-language-learning programm installed which may have changed some settings/and or replaced some files which trigger windows update into failure..)
Since the folder has the correct name for German and the update was downloaded from Microsoft Update, and should have contained the correct ..inf file for German, the only thought concerning why MU isn't recognizing is what you originally posted ... somehow the default language settings have been corrupted/damaged.
Let's try this. Uninstall KB898461 from Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel.
Then go to this page :
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=50C334E1-9A67-4B99-A65A-069B79267856&amp;displaylang=en
Validate the system, then Change the Language to German.
Download the update and SAVE it, do NOT run it.
When the download is finished, close Internet Explorer, install it, then restart the system.
Revisit Microsoft Update and see if it prompts you to install KB898461 again.

The following files are installed in this folder:
• Update.exe.ref
• Updspapi.dll.ref
• Spuninst.exe.ref
• Spcustom.dll.ref
• Spmsg.dll.ref
• Spupdsvc.exe.ref
These files are all present in my c:\WINDOWS\system32\PreInstall\WinSE\wxp_x86_0407_v1\
Hence I think the windows update 898461 german is installed successfully. I have downloaded the copy from the microsoft website.
The problem is: when I visit the microsoft update website to retrieve the latest updates, the microsoft updater first wants to install the english version of 898461 (which always fails duie to non-matching language)... but without this update, the microsoft update website does not allow me to scan for and retrieve the other updates...
The folder for German (Germany) should be named :
wxp_x86_0407_v1
Yes, this folder is present on my harrdrive and it contains the files listed above.
The other language identifier is present in the Update.inf file of the update package. From where did you obtain the update ?
The german update downloaded from microsoft webpage, WindowsXP-KB898461-x86-DEU.exe, works fine. But the active-x control on microsoft update downloads c:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download\S-1-5-18\80e56ce0092a944b212df2b595e8badf\WindowsXP-KB898461-x86-ENU.exe and always wants to install this file before it wants to continue with further updates (but, this version cannot be installed on a german XP).
Do you have any idea why the updater downloads 898461 in the wrong language and does not recognize the manually installed german 898461?
Thanks for your help,
Thorsten
