I have a W2k server running citrix XP. Even when the server is in install
mode I cannot load these patches
Security Update for Windows 2000 (KB901214)
Update Rollup 1 for Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 (KB891861)
Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 (KB896727)
Security Update for Windows 2000 (KB899588)
Security Update for Windows 2000 (KB893756)
Security Update for Windows 2000 (KB899591)
Security Update for Windows 2000 (KB899587)
Security Update for Windows 2000 (KB896423)
Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - August 2005 (KB890830)
I get no errors in the event log. I only get the message
Problem: A problem on your computer is preventing updates from being
downloaded or installed. Nothing on this server has changed, the updates
just wont install anymore. Please help! Thanks!

I have also contacted Citrix and the server does not have to be in install
mode to install updates.

Solution courtesy of Ed, try this it worked for me as well.
Here are the steps I took:

1) Run DCOMCNFG

2) Click the "Default Security" tab

3) Click the "Edit Default..." button for "Default Access Permissions"

4) Add the local Administrators group (there was only one user listed
before)

5) Click "Apply"

Windows Updates worked worked like a charm after that!
