Should have asked this in

microsoft.public.windowsupdate

I just crossposted it to that group.

The 2 most likely causes for the update failing to install are, in
descending order:

1) Roxio's DLA component, or something similar, that prevents the
registry subkey from being originally set or, deletes it after a restart
and restores "it's" setting.

2) Security software that is preventing the registry key from being set
or the replacement of shell32.dll

The quickest way to get KB967715 installed is to Clean boot the system
and then install the update: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310353
Reboot afterwards.

Did that get it installed ?
