Problem installing update KB842773 for WinXP.

When I try to download and install the update (automatic update) I get the
message "error during installation, file is damaged".
errorcode 0xD00E4104.
I tried the file WindowsXP-KB842773-v2-x86-enu aswell.
This time it said "file is corrupt".

What to do?
Thx, Robert

Either:
(a) your downloads are corrupt because of a poor network connection; or
(b) your hard disk is beginning to fail.

To check your hard disk, open "My Computer", right-click on Drive C:, select
"Properties", click tab "Tools", click "Check Now", check both option boxes,
click "Start", and restart Windows to allow the full check to run when
Windows boots up.

To eliminate any already corrupt downloads in your web cache, open control
panel "Internet Options", click "Delete Files", check "Delete all offline
content", click "OK".

my HD seems to be ok.
i've deleted the corrupt downloads.
my internet connection is ok aswell
i've never had any bad or corrupt downloads before.

i don't want to draw conclusions
but is it possible that the file is corrupt?
and is there any other way to get windows update to work?
