What fixed?
When you use the File and Settings Transfer Wizard on a computer that is running a 32-bit edition of Microsoft Windows XP to transfer your files and settings, and then you try to use the File and Settings Transfer Wizard on a computer that is running Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition to restore the files and settings that you copied earlier, you may receive the following error message:
Your migration store was created with a previous version of File and Settings Transfer Wizard. Please collect your settings using the current version of the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard. It is available on the Windows XP x64 edition CD under Perform Additional Tasks. You can also create a wizard disk by running the wizard on your Windows XP x64 Edition computer.
This behavior occurs because the File and Settings Transfer Wizard that is included in 32-bit versions of Windows XP is not compatible with the File and Settings Transfer Wizard that is included in Windows XP Professional x64 Edition.
To resolve this problem, download and install the updated version of the File and Settings Transfer Wizard.

Windows Installer 3.1 Redistributable (v2)
Download Size: 2.47MB
Date Published: 5/12/2005
Version: 3.1.4000.2435

Code:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/info.aspx?na=131&p=3&SrcDisplayLang=en&SrcCategoryId=&SrcFamilyId=889482fc-5f56-4a38-b838-de776fd4138c&genscs=&u=http%3a%2f%2fdownload.microsoft.com%2fdownload%2f1%2f4%2f7%2f147ded26-931c-4daf-9095-ec7baf996f46%2fWindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2-x86.exe

New features in Windows Installer 3.1:

New minor UpdateTargetRTMProperty property: Patch files can now target both the original release baseline and the latest service-pack-level baseline that is on the system.
New MsiSetExternalUIRecord API: Packages that use an external user interface can now receive messages as records instead of receiving the messages as strings.
New x64 and Msix64 properties: Packages can now use the x64 and Msix64 properties to indicate x64 processor-based operating system support.
New MsiNotifySidChange API: You can use this API to upgrade the Windows Installer configuration if the security identifier (SID) of a user changes.
Flyweight patching is now an opt-in behavior: Windows Installer 3.0 introduced new "flyweight patching" functionality. By default, this functionality was enabled for all patches. Windows Installer 3.1 now disables this functionality unless you specifically enable the functionality by setting the OptimizedInstallMode property in the MsiPatchMetaData table.

Issue that is addressed in Windows Installer 3.1 (v2)

Windows Installer no longer fails silently when the installer tries to update a file that is protected by the Windows File Protection feature.

Why are you using auto-update?
Just do the following steps as I am telling you:

Turn off auto-update.
Use the option to 'only notify me when updates are available'.
Connect to internet. Start surfing. You can update anti-virus, anti-spy etc. After some time (may be 1 or 2 hour or more) Windows will notify you about available updates by a system tray icon.
Note the numbers (e.g. KB000000).
Open microsoft.com. Go to its download page. Search for the update (use only the number, say KB101010).
Follow the instruction of the search page.

No replacement. Only addition of new data - new links. If you think about malware removal tool, no need to download previous versions if you already have updated one.
I started this topic on May 18, 2005 and links of all the updates released after then has been included here.

Microsoft Security Bulletin Summary for June, 2005

Absolutely right. But, may be quite wrong about previous updates.
Question is that how many people know about the bulletin? Is there anyone who knows that those Windows updates are downloadable items at Microsoft? Have you ever search for those updates at Microsoft? Are you sure that every time you were successful? If it could be happened for everyone, I hope I won't see so many installations running with SP2 without its revisions - only because of huge size of download through auto-update. I have downloaded each and every single update from Microsoft after SP1. Before SP2 it was much easier, but you may have to search at Microsoft or have to adopt some other techniques for it.
So, credits is not everything in making a thread, it should be enough informative that serves everyone’s purpose. Moreover, I did not search for that Bulletin at MS and not very much aware of it. It is your OS who will tell you all the links when auto-update utility is turned off.
So, download the updates once and keep your Windows up-to-date after every re-installation of XP.
