process, all the updates download, but when it get to the install step, it
stops and goes to the window that shows all the updates that did not install.
I then went to the Download center and installed each update individually
and have successfully installed most, including service pack 3. However, on
K950759 I keep getting the error - Extraction failed - "update\update.exe is
not a valid win32 application." My concern not specifically with this
update, but that it is preventing all other updates from installing correctly
through the regular Windows Update process.
