Integrate KB885250 Problems

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin (More info?)

Hallo.
I have integrated all security patches to my Sp2 installation point today.
But i have problem with KB885250. I get following error

"An error accurred while attempting to integrate thos software update
package. Verify that the architecture, language, and service patch level of
this software are valid for the target distribution folder."

It's work manually to install the application, and later in the installation
with run once.. But i want to have all patches integrated.

Rebecca!!

This response is FANTASTIC! I appreciate the detail and it is something I
have been wondering about myself with KB834707 and KB885835.. Matter of
fact I posted in response to someone else in :

microsoft.public.windowsxp.setup_deployment and
microsoft.public.windowsxp.general

Titled "Patch Slipstream Failure" on April 6, 2005. They were having
trouble with KB885835 and KB885894 where I was not having trouble with the
latter of the two, only the former and another they did not mention.

Thanks for the heads-up - I hope to see more on this in the future!
