I had to download SP-1 by itself. I also tried downloading
the security patch by itself. Same error and same record
in the update.log file.

Strange thing is I installed the security patch for RPC
vulnerability 3 days ago and it is again brought up by
Windows Update. Also, I thought I had installed SP-1 last
year but the 'Installation History" records that
installation to be Failed. But, Windows Update did not
bring up the SP-1 upgrade until now and even worse I am
not able to update my system at all.
