I'm wondering if perhaps you hadn't installed a previous update to Windows XP that may be required in order to get this roll up package to install? You might, also, want to install Belarc Advisor and see if this update shows as a successful install so we have more info. Go to www.belarc.com to download. It's a small program that will list all MS updates and other useful information.
Windows update; I have eleven critical updates that are the same. Every time I download this update it says it is successful and I reboot. Every time I check "Windows Update" and the same critical update is back for downloading.
