What is the context of the code? Search the files that the update creates
for both 6DD8 (i.e. the hex string without its prefix) and 28120
(its decimal value.)
Also try using helpmsg on your system to see if you get more than I do
<cmd_output>
F:\>set /a c = 0x6dd8
28120
F:\>net helpmsg %c%
28120 is not a valid Windows network message number.
More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3871.
</cmd_output>
Perhaps it is a symptom of a driver error?

BTW you mention in the Subject that its for SQL Server so
you may get better assistance from an SQL newsgroup.
Cross-posting to one for convenience. E.g. if you try to install your problem
update manually and still have problems it is probably just as much an SQL
issue as a WU issue and you are much more likely to find the necessary
experience (e.g. logs to compare) and expertise (e.g. awareness of SQL
install diagnostics) there than here.
Also it looks as if the equivalent MSDN forum is fairly active,
judging by the results of this search there:

Good luck
