Re: Security Update KB956572 wants to be installed continuously...

According to the Security Bulletin:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec.../ms09-012.mspx

This is the registry subkey one needs to check:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\Wind ows XP\SP4\KB956572

There is also a subkey of KB956572 called Filelist, that shows all the
files, file versions, and locations of same that were included in the
update.

To troubleshoot why KB956572 is not installing properly, open the
KB956572.log located in WINDOWS and post it's content.
Same for KB952004 as both updates are aimed at mitigating the same 4
publicly disclosed vulnerabilities that are shown in the Security bulletin:

Windows MSDTC Service Isolation Vulnerability - CVE-2008-1436

Windows WMI Service Isolation Vulnerability - CVE-2009-0078

Windows RPCSS Service Isolation Vulnerability - CVE-2009-0079

Windows Thread Pool ACL Weakness Vulnerability - CVE-2009-0080
