Hello

I once had a DOS script running, which deleted all the files in C:\Windows\Temp
at boot time.
This might be the reason, because Microsoft copies the new files here
and at boot time they are copied to the Windows directory.

Otherwise try the following :
After executing the patch
look into the file
C:\Windows\Wininit.ini

There you find all the files that are to be exchanged at next reboot.
Normally it looks like that :

NUL=Oldfile
OldFile=NewFile

This means that the file with the name "Oldfile" will be deleted and then replaced by "NewFile"

Click onto the oldfile with the right mouse button --> properties --> version.
Then you see the files version.
Then do the same with Newfile.

If they are the same, you already have exchanged them and merely the patch displays the wrong message.
