Re: KB891861 & 816093 (for W2K SP4)

KB891861 - Update rollup 1 for Windows 2000

My W2K Add/Remove program list has included this update for some time but
Windows Update keeps nagging I have to update.  When I try,  the update
message always says it was not successful.

816093 - Security update for Microsoft VM (Virtual Machine)

When I tried this (several times) the message is always the same:

"The Microsoft VM you are attempting to update is a protected system
component & can only be updated with a later release of the OS or service
pack."

The latter message will get many Google hits from forums, tech sites, and
Microsoft self-support tech sites - all with suggestions that do not work.

It would be great to get some replies from users who found solutions to one
or both of these issues.
