Ive just installed a few new machines for a client, and have been receiving this error from windowsupdate (on all machines). It also happens when I go to the microsoft update website and try to install the update ... but the error is:<br />
<br />
The following updates were not installed<br />
<br />
Security Update for Flash Player (KB913433)<br />
<br />
I went &nbsp;out and installed macromedia flash, thinking to myself, &quot;hmmm ... since flash isnt installed, I'll bet thats breaking the update process.&quot; ... well, that didnt help. And yes, I did reboot before and after the installation of flash player (isn't that always the first step in troubleshooting any MS problem?).<br />
<br />
What I'm interested in, is gaining a better understanding of the windows update service. How it functions, where it stores information, where it downloads the updates, how the updates get applied etc., so that I can troubleshoot these problems in the future (this is not the first time ive seen XP NOT take an update).<br />
<br />
Thank you,<br />

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
