I just built a new Pentium 4 machine with a brand new copy of XP Pro, SP2 and
went today to Microsoft to do an Update. It identified 90 updates but then
installed only 2.

I got a message that "Some updates were not installed."

The Update History shows that only the following updates have been
installed:

Windows XP - Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool (KB892130)
Windows XP - Microsoft Windows Installer 3.1
