KB947864 is not installing on my system (Vista x64 SP1 Ultimate) (fails to

I've gotten various different errors in the Event Log ranging from
"Windows Servicing identified that package KB947864(Security Update) is not
applicable for this system"

to

"Windows Servicing failed to complete the process of setting package
KB947864 (Security Update) into Install Requested(Install Requested) state"

"Windows Servicing failed to complete the process of changing update

Thanks. I am certain that this is not a problem with my client computers.
I will not have time to consult with Microsoft to fix this problem. I just
wanted to alert the Windows Update group that there was a problem with the
detection logic for this update. I will leave it to the employees of
Microsoft to evaluate and fix the problem.

I am in the process of validating the April 08 patches and have found
that
on numerous machines with IE 7 installed, MS08-024 is not detected as
necessary. I am using ITMU v3 for SMS to deploy these patches, but
visiting Windows Update with the same computer also shows that
MS08-024 -
Cumulative update for IE 7 is not needed. None of the machines
actually
have MS08-024 installed. I have verified this by looking at the
version of URLMON.DLL on these machines and it is older than the
7.0.6000.20772. The version on the machine is 7.0.6000.20733

Here is the log entry from SMSWusHandler.log showing that MS08-024 is
detected as "INSTALLED". This is not correct. it is not installed. If
I
remove the February cumulative update for IE 7, then run the scan
again, the patch is detected as needed. Windows Update is not
correctly detecting the abcense of MS08-024.

This is a Top-level update.
