Yep...this fixed the problem for me...thanks for the post.

I appreciate this being intended by MS...but it would be a realatively
simple thing to have let us know ahead of time rather than wasting a
tremendous amount of our combined time. I searched the security bulletin
(MS05-054) and there is no mention of this there.

I suspect a permissions problem of some kind, e.g. either in the file system
or in the registry. Unfortunately there is not enough detail here and I have
no insight into the implementation to be able to infer anything more specifically.
Therefore, unless resorting to a /verbose install yields better clues
I would use RegMon and FileMon concurrently to try to track down
which specific file or directory needs to have its attributes changed
or which registry key is causing a similar problem (or which other account
you might be able to use without changing any of those things.) Etc.
For more information about this technique search my posts with

The two first lines in my letter were not supposed to be read as a
sentence. The log-file names should not be there at all (my reminders).
Having installed and the Windows Updated reported success, I restarted
my system, and the same old update 905915 was available again...! :-(
At least on my machine, my trick with the registry only made the
difference from Windows update reporting error to Windows Update
reporting success when it's not.

Could you please recapitulate the links that help?

Thanks, Andreas

Feel free to contact PSS about the "issue".

Then you have a different problem. Note that installation failures "may"
occur for different reasons.

Which AntiVirus software are you using?
Did you try to install the patches while the AV software has been
*completly* disabled?

Any chance it's working under a additionaly created Windows account
with administrator user rights?

I find on update history that I have now "successfully" updated with Windows
XP update (KB910437) a total of 13 times. No failures are recorded. I am now
being prompted to install it again! Here is my Log file, don't print it, the
forests need saving. My logfile is too long. I shall delete it and try one
more "Sucessful" install and post that resultant log.
