Update offers 23718 repeatedly

What is says in the subject
Every 2 or 3 days I'm offered the same new update to install.
Each time I install it, the installer claims it's successful.

Is the installation of Reporting Services Evaluation on my XP machines
likely to be affecting this? I think it updated MDAC during the install.

The update you are referring to is KB823718. Download MDAC 2.8 from
here :
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en
Choose Save. DO NOT CHOOSE OPEN. Close IE when the download is finished.
Install it now.

I do not know what version of MDAC that Reporting Services Evaluation
installs, but it may be what's causing the issue. Hopefully this will
resolve it.

So far, in the last 5 days, I haven't been offered that update again.
So it appears that install claiming success was being economical with the
truth.

Thanks.
