Summary
Client scanner results: "...security vulnerabilities and security software updates have been identified for your PC." was inaccurate. I downloaded and ran patch. A mispelled error message reported "Windows Media 'Serivces' Update Installation Wizard did not find previously installed Windows Media Components. Installation will exit now." If it doesn't come up with Windows Update, it's probably not critical.
Won't install
