succesfull update remains in update list

I'm unable to remove this update from my update list.
817787 (Windows Media Player 7.1)
I've done this update succesfully several times.
But it keeps appearing in the update list.

I am having the same difficulty with the same Windows Media Player 7.1
updates on Windows 98. I've seen this same issue posted a couple of times,
but no solutions offered. Does Microsoft have a fix for this problem? I have
successfully installed and rebooted twice now. The history in Windows
Updates shows successful installation, and still it keeps popping up as a
needed new critical update the next day. There is clearly a software problem
of some sort--my computer is virus-free and operating normally otherwise.
Can anyone help?

To clarify, there are two Windows Media Player 7.1 updates at issue: 817787
and Q320920.

Sorry, I haven't found a solution yet.
Still get the needed new critical update messages.
This kinda defeats the mechanism.

Have you looked at the logs for clues? (assuming logs are generated
on your OS ;o)

Have you tried downloading and installing these manually?

FYI the usual explanation for this type of problem is interference
by "security" apps such as Anti-virus programs which may need to be
temporarily disabled (not just stopped) while you are in an install
phase. That's one of the advantages of doing a manual download
and install--you get to break the update into distinct controllable phases.
