Updates keeps trying to install this thing on my computer or I should say
tries to reinstall it on my computer. I checked my update history and it says
that it was successfully installed on March 17, 2009 but yet it keeps trying
to reinstall it and gives my error code 0x663 when it fails to do so. There's
a folder in my start menu programs list with this name so I'm assuming that
it has already been installed on my computer and I believe it is working
correctly because I don't have a problem running any other programs on my
computer but this thing keeps trying to reinstall and it's driving me
insane. I tried calling Microsoft to get some help but the jackass I talked
to wanted to charge me $59.95 to help me, even though it says right on their
website that they won't charge for automatic update issues, so if anybody has
any advice on what to do to stop this I would greatly appreciate it.

If you're running Windows XP service pack 3, this may be your problem:
