I have a virtual machine with XP and Visual Studio and have windows update working fine for most updates.

When I try to install the security update (Security Update for Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1 KB971092) related to Visual Studio it fails?

Any ideas why?

Suggestions to install it a different way/outside of Windows update?

What Service Pack is XP running? What virtualization platform are you using? – MDMarra Aug 18 '09 at 23:45

Check Event Viewer for more detailed errors...

You can try downloading the KB971092 and installing it manually. You should get some sort of error to help you troubleshoot further.

The update was failing due to lack of disk space.
