Is there a way to determine what files a specific update changes?

I am trying to determine what files are not getting installed properly (see
post Being prompted for Updates that have been installed) to give me a clues
as to what

Search for the specific update by the 6 digit number on Microsoft's website.
Among other things, the page should list the files changed as well as the
date of the new files.

Thanks Jupiter. I did locate the list.

I have further determined that the update is writing the SET102.tmp file to
the System32 directory, but on reboot, the file is not renamed. There are a
whole list of .tmp files located within the folder so I am assuming that this
is the key to my problem.

Because the files the update need to replace are system files, some are
copied as temp files and the the reboot is supposed to rename them to the
appropriate file.

If any one knows where or how this process can be circumvented or where I
can investgate to determine what is causing this, it would be greatly
appreciated.

For all intensive purposes, the Microsoft Update process is working just
fine. The final rename of the files implemented doesn't happen. If there
was an error in the log that would be very very helpful. At this point,
unless there is an alternate place that issues like this write to a log, I
haven't found any indication at to what is happening.
