Hi,
You will need it to be able to install some future security updates
from Windows Update:
Software update 898461 installs a permanent copy of the Package
Installer for Windows version 6.1.22.4
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/898461
Some log files you need to look at to see if you can find any hints
for why it doesn't install (you might want to post back here e.g.
the 30 last lines in WindowsUpdate.log):
%windir%\WindowsUpdate.log (no space in the file name!)
and
%windir%\SoftwareDistribution\ReportingEvents.log
and
%windir%\kb898461.log
(%windir% is typically C:\Windows or C:\Winnt)
Note that the text goes pretty far out to the right on the latter file,
turn off any line wrapping in your text editor.
