    Dennis,
    I had no problems with KB913466 or any of the other updates. (I too downloaded to the hard disk and installed from there.)

    According to MS06-007, it replaces MS05-019 which is KB893066. You could try uninstalling that one prior to installing KB913466.

    Hmm ... :confused: ... I misread "windows download site" as "Microsoft Download Center" which is from where I downloaded KB913446. Whiskeyman provided a link and I would try that approach before uninstalling KB893066.

    Same here. Tried from Microsoft Update, got Error Code: 0x80242006 .

    Going to see if I can get it to install from MS Update.

    Yea, the one coming from the Windows Update site (be it automatic or the "regular" Windows / Microsoft Update) is failing for at least 99% of all people. MS is aware. Download from the Technet web site (links provided above) instead.

    Observation --
    I never use "Auto-Update ", but as a desperate attempt today I did .. it failed twice. Problem is, with this method, I did NOT receive any screen message saying the update failed. My guess, many users tomorrow will be surprised when they notice "updates icon" re-appear.

    Better not to download anything from Windows Update site directly since the downloaded files are not directly accessible. Better to use their nos., search them & download them onto a known folder on harddisk. You can then integrate them into your copy of XP or keep them aside for later installations.

    Download from the Technet site is 'good' - installed OK with no subsequent problems.

    I downloaded the file again to compare with the one I installed yesterday. They are identical which indicates that the problem was with the deployment, not with the update itself.
