How can I verify updates installed *at time* of installation (Vista)?

When I installed Vista, I launched the installer from XP (I wasn't upgrading
XP, just launching from there). Right at the start, you're asked to check
for available updates, which I assume would include important ones like the
Windows Vista Application Compatibility Update (Q932246).

My problem is how to determine what it installed. Q932246, for example, is
not listed in Windows Update history, which in a way makes sense. It's not
in D:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download, either. It doesn't appear to
be anywhere on disk.

When I try to install it manually by running the .MSU, I'm told "The update
does not apply to your system," which, I guess, means it's already
installed, but I'd like to know.

Thanks

KB9322246 is NOT for XP, therefore it will not install.

It will only install from * within Vista * once Vista is installed.

No, you misunderstand me: When run from XP (as opposed to booting the DVD),
Vista's setup will right away check for certain updates that it incorporates
into the setup *for itself* (not for XP). I imagine this is done so they can
push out some Very Important updates that would pertain to installation or
application compatibility. I'm just looking to find which updates it pulled
down, which should be recorded somewhere. This must have been one of them,
since I can't install it now.
