When you attempt to install software update 898461 in Windows XP, the installation fails, and %SystemRoot%System32Spupdsvc.log file shows that the installation was canceled.

This behavior will occur if the %SystemRoot%System32Spupdsvc.exe is corrupted.

To workaround this behavior, rename the corrupted Spupdsvc.exe file to Spupdsvc.old.
