I've been trying to update an XP system. All the other updates downloaded
and installed, except the cumalative security update KB918899 fails each
time i try to update it. I was using the WU sight to update. I then
downloaded the update file and tried running it. Seemed to be installing,
then at the end it says setup canceled. I am the Admin on the systen and
was in the admin account. Anyone else have this problem or maybe have some
insight to whats going on? TIA
