How do I know if I installed KB931125 Windows XP Pro SP3 NO WU?

Dear Experts

I have more than 5 computers and  I am updating all of them, but I do not want to use "Windows Update"

I am collecting all the hotfix in a CD

But KB931125 for XP is drive me crazy, I do know if I installed or not in all computers, because when I click on rootsupd.exe. NOTHING happens, no  msg installation... , no license agreement... nothing... but Eset Internet Security 5 is now not showing  that I need to install the missing update "Update for Root Certificates For Windows XP [April 2012] (KB931125)"

All the Windows XP copies are legitime and registered.
All the systems are sandboxed (not for instalation) only to browse the web
If  the systems are sandboxed  to browse the web, This does not mean I am browsing the web in the systems since I am still updating.
Call me paranoid about malware, That is why I still do not want to browse the web
There is still available operating system updates that I MUST install.

I started here:

Next I started to download the hotfixs until the KB931125

Once I installed hotfix KB931125, the AV ESS, stops reporting the missing update

I download the KB931125 from:

So the question is still How do I know if if I installed KB931125 Windows XP Pro SP3 NO WU and nor revised my WU history?

I do not trust my AV when check for missing updates

Please do no redirect to another website, I need the information here at EE

iF the experts think this question is illegal breaking the EE rules

I can prove it is not

just please ask and please read this question I open severals months ago

Couple of ways to verify if a hotfix is applied.

Open Add/Remove Programs and verify that "Display Updates" is selected.  You can scroll down the list and see if it's there.

In Windows XP you can open the C:\Windows folder, show all files and folders and you should find a $NtUninstallKB931125$ folder.  You can also see this in C:\Windows\$hf_mig$\KB931125

In Windows 7 you can check the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder for KB931125

You can browse the registry under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall and see if it's listed under there (However this list is polled in Add/Remove programs)

Finally, you can check the MS KB details or release notes and compare file versions of the files modified with the ones from the KB.  This might not be entirely accurate since these files may be update by other hotfixes...use this as a last resort.

Good luck!

Dear expert xDUCKx

>Open Add/Remove Programs and verify that "Display Updates" is selected.  You can scroll >down the list and see if it's there

You know that Hotfix change the name in Add/Remove Programs in particular how do I search for this specific hotfix, open Add/Remove Programs?

If I try regedit

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Updates\Windows XP\SP4\ AND search for the KB? will this provide me more info?

Thank you

I can not find it, this is what i did

I search at the location C:\Windows folder, nothing found
And I browse under the registry and search for KB931125, nothing found

Under Add/Remove Programs nothing new has been installed

Now what? OK, such as said I do not trust what is reporting my AV, but since I click on rootsupd.exe, ESS is not showing this missing update... I do not get it, I am lost and still KB931125 for XP is drive me crazy

Thank you
