Windows Defender Defenition 1.35.716.0 failed to install XP SP3

The first installation that failed was smaller than 500 KB. The second try
that failed was 9.5 MB. Did I lose some or all of my protecton after the
first failure?

I have reproduced this problem (error 0x80070643). Users may encounter this
problem when updating Defender via Automatic Update, Windows Update, or from
within Defender (Check for updates function).

NB: Defender will NOT be happy and its "Alert!" icon will continue to appear
in Notification Area until an update is successfully installed. This does
NOT mean that Defender is not working/protecting your machine.

I have alerted MS and the Defender team to this apparent bug via private
channels.
