Hi,
I have the same problem as ju.c, only I cannot use the proposed solution.
My situation is as follows: I am preparing an unattended Windows
installation, based on the student edition downloaded from MSDNAA
(en_winxp_pro_with_sp2.iso). I slipstreamed SP3 (I used the network
install version [1], as recommended by msfn [2]) together with all
updates that can be slipstreamed [3]. Furthermore, I integrated several
other updates via SVCPACK.INF [4], including IE7.
After installation of this windows setup, I experienced the same error
as ju.c, but you can see that it is not an option for me to uninstall
SP3. I was wondering, could I slipstream the Express Install into my
windows source (i.e., does it also support the /s:<path> switch) and
would that solve my problem? And in case that wouldn't solve the
problem, what else could I change in the setup of my windows
installation so that update 950759 will work.

OK so far.

To the best of my knowledge, this isn't a supported procedure. I recommend you
drop IE7 and other non-slipstreamable updates from the Windows image. There are
various ways to post-install them automatically; contact me directly if you need
suggetsions.
(Incidentally, it would have been preferable if you had started a new thread to
describe your issue rather than following up to someone else's. Otherwise it
tends to cause confusion.)

I'm ju.c, original poster.
I've had some time to think about the KB950759 install problem and I have an idea, but my
problem is fixed, so I don't have a test system.
Because the setup does a pre-condition check it makes sense to fool the installer.
Extract the files from KB950759 then search for the same files on your computer. I wonder
if deleting the copies that have the same file names as KB950759 that are in
C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache\ and anywhere else, except \system32\ or \Program
Files\Internet Explorer\ will be the trick.
My fix was uninstalling SP3. That replaced IE7 files, thus the KB950759 installed OK.
I'd love to know what the problem was, and if this works, I'll know.
Good luck!

Thanks ju.c
So, should I uninstall SP3 then install KB950759 then reinstall SP3?

I uninstalled SP3, then re-installed it, then the update installed OK.
This is what I did:
1. Uninstall SP3.
2. Restart.
3. Run chkdsk.
Yes: Automatically fix file system errors.
No: Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.
4. Install SP3.
5. Restart.
6. Restart again.
7. Install KB950759.
Good luck!

For the record, the svcpack.inf procedure *is* in fact supported, but only for
some older updates - specifically, updates using update.exe versions earlier
than 5.4.15.0. (This seems unlikely to include any updates applicable to SP3,
but YMMV; however, it certainly doesn't include IE7.)
The IE7 updater is based on update.exe, but doesn't support the /integrate
switch; I can only presume that there is a good reason for this and that
bypassing the restriction via svcpack.inf is likely to result in a broken
installation.
