Well I have tried all the fixes mentioned and it still failed to install KB974417 so I bit the bullet and ran the clean up tool then did all the updates and everything is now fine and yes KB974417 is in add / remove programs.
Truly appreciate your suggestions and advice.
I actually saved the download to my desktop and unpacked it with winrar, as suggested, but got no confirmation that anything installed.

Thanks for the tip. My system extracted the file to D:\[random-hex-string] rather than to the C drive. HTH someone else.

None of the products that are addressed by this software update are installed on this computer. Click Cancel to exit setup.

The above message shows up when the servie that the aupdate is aimed at is not installed in the computer. To install this service in XP PRO do this.
open add/remove, click windows components, select network services >Details >tick UPnP user interface.

This allows KB974417 to be installed.

@RandyD:
1. Extract all files to a network share
2. Make a batch file doing the rest

Can you explain how to create a script for this process?
