Thanks antdude. I got the four updates you listed for XP. I was offered three updates for Vista - the roots certificate update wasn't included. When I checked at the download center, it said the supporting system was XP.
Sincerely, Libra |

Anyone know why these were out-of-cycle?
They must be "critical", coming down as Automatic Updates. |

kudos:16 | According to this link »support.microsoft.com/kb/973686
that update is ment for XP SP2 systems and is why it didn't apply to my XP Pro SP3 and XP Home SP3 systems.
quote:
Prerequisites
To apply this update, you must have MSXML 6.0, MSXML 6.0 Service Pack 1 (SP1), or MSXML 6.0 Service Pack 2 (SP2) installed on one of the following operating systems:
Windows Server 2003 SP2
Windows XP SP2
Note The package will upgrade the Msxml6.dll file to be used on the latest version of MSXML 6.0 SP2. This upgrade occurs when MSXML 6.0, MSXML 6.0 SP1, or MSXML 6.0 SP2 is installed on the computer.
