Updates fail in XP, where are they?

I download and install updates for XP 64-bit. Some of the updates failed,
possibly because I had software guarding my registry. I don't know where
they are on the HD to install them manually, and they don't show up on the
windows update website. How can I find them again?

Thanks in advance

Tip: Temporarily disable real-time protection by your anti-virus and/or
anti-spyware applications (e.g., CounterSpy, Spysweeper, Spybot, AVG
Anti-Spyware) and/or any third-party firewall (e.g., ZA) before attempting
to install the update(s). If you disable a third-party firewall, do NOT
connect to the internet without having the Windows Firewall enabled!
