Here is the contents located under the %userprofile% path:

"Patch applied successfully. Resource copied from
C:\DOCUME~1\Dale\LOCALS~1\Temp\vssrvc.exe to D:\Program Files\Microsoft
Virtual Server\vssrvc.exe
Return Code = 3010"

So this doesn't clarify much of anything. The patch thinks its installed
until the next scan of the system reoffers it again.

Any other help you can offer?

See if you can locate the KB937986.log. That should provide a clue as to
where the update is failing to install.
It may be in WINDOWS\Temp if not in C:\temp or, in %userprofile%\Local
Settings\Temp.

The value of those environment system variables is both the same: c:\temp. I
assume you are refering to system variables and not user variables for
tmp/temp. If the user variable if of some noteworthy importance please let
me know where I can read more information about this.

I really don't remember having every altered this on this box in the 3 years
it has been in operation.

Any other ideas?

Has the Default Temp/TMP environmental variable been edited, Dale ?
That was the cause of the update failing to install or being reoffered
in various earlier threads.

A single patch has failed to properly install on a Windows 2003 SBS server
for Virtual Server 2005 R2. The update is KB937986. The update goes through
the install, says it is comlete, requests a restart, and once restarted is
again reoffered. This is also a WSUS 3.0 box. Initially I tried to install
solely by WSUS but having had this time consuming (server reboots are 10-15
minute cycles - Exchange & SQL logs ...etc) is really painful to find the
time to make trial & error attempts. I also tried once through MU & then
also downloaded the patch directly to the desktop for the last try.

How can I troubleshoot this?
