Cause: XP Windows Update is not install successfully after Repair or SP3 Update

This problem occurs because of how the Windows XP repair operation replaces Windows system files. When you repair a Windows installation by using a Windows XP CD, the repair operation performs replacing all the Windows system files with the corresponding files from the disc and restore the Windows Registry

The latest version of Windows Update includes a file that was not available in the release version of Windows XP. This file is named Wups2.dll. Therefore, after the repair operation is complete, the wups2.dll file still remains on the system and the corresponding registry entries to this file is missing.

In some cases, this problem occurs when the latest Windows Update client has been installed and then installing Windows XP SP3 before restarting the computer. This causes the new Wups2.dll file not to be enabled (registered). When Windows XP SP3 is installed, it does not detect the Wups2.dll file, and it sets the registry to point to the original Wups.dll file version that is included in Windows XP SP2 and Windows XP SP3.

Because the registry files that correspond to the Wups2.dll file are missing, update installations are unsuccessful.
