Not sure how useful this will be, but today KB982524 repeatedly failed to
install on my machine. It's been said there is no standalone for this update,
but there is. I got the XP 32-bit standalone .exe for it from here:
http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...982524-x86.exe
When first trying to run this, I got a "File is corrupt" message. Downloaded
it again & it installed OK. Went back to Microsoft Update & thankfully it
says I'm up to date.
I've seen very elaborate instructions suggesting a complete uninstall of
..NET Framework, with incremental reinstallations of each update is the only
solution. Fortunately, that seems unnecessary.
