I have tested this quite a few times to isolate the problem. This update will not get applied correctly. However using an optional update that allows you to run QFECHECK shows that it is installed, but MS update still shows it as an available update. Tried using NoKillBits parameter in HFANSWER which still doesn't work. Not sure why it's not applying. I see in the script that it should add in the reg key that supposodely makes this happen, but it's still coming ip for me. I'm using XP SP3 volume license version. Also, add kb905474 to your update list, which is WGA notifications. Thanks, Jason
