I have been reliving the same Microsoft update for the past 4 days. After receiving and installing the Windows updates from Microsoft, I keep getting notified to download and install the same update over and over. I have now installed KB923980 seven times and still the machine keeps notifying me to download and install this critical update.
The Windows Update history shows that this was installed successfully all seven times. It even shows up in the Add/Remove Programs applet in the Control Panel.
I finally removed the hotfix and started from scratch. Nothing has changed, the notifications keep coming. This update does not require a reboot, so as soon as I install it, the notification icon pops up and tells me to download and install it again.
Any thoughts what to do? I checked the install file and I'm not really sure this was applied properly but then again maybe it was :-?
This is on a WinXP SP2 machine. Fully updated except for patch KB923980
