I've tried downloading and installing from the icon as well as from the
website. I've turned my computer on and off a few times. Bottom line I now
have several copikes of each of the updates but none will install. How do I
fix this and also delete the extra copies of the updates? Thanks for any
suggestions

" How to obtain help and support for this security update

For home users, no-charge support is available by calling 1-866-PCSAFETY
in the United States and Canada or by contacting your local Microsoft
subsidiary. For more information about how to contact your local
Microsoft subsidiary for support issues with security updates, visit the
Microsoft International Support Web site:
http://support.microsoft.com/common/international.aspx?rdpath=4

North American customers can also obtain instant access to unlimited
no-charge e-mail support or to unlimited individual chat support by
visiting the following Microsoft Web site:
http://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?&prid=7552

Contact MS about the installation issue with KB978474 as it is a
Security update and there is NO CHARGE assistance for this issue.

DO NOT mention the other update or they will attempt to charge you.

Both updates will install when MS troubleshoots the KB978474
installation issue. Do not worry about the extra copies of the updates
as that is a trivial matter at this point in time, Harriette.

I am having same problem - but just with KB978474 . Have Windows 7 Home
premium. Has been going on since the security update was released. Each
time I turn off my computer it tries to install - but it fails. When I try
to manually install is gives me code 80070652 and windowsupdate_dt000. I
have manually downloaded the update and tried to install and it says"The
update cannot be applied". I think now this is causing excel attachments
not to be able to be opened from my Outlook 2003 - and precluding me from
installing other new software (I get an error message to wait for the other
installation to finish).
I successfully installed a hot fix KB947821 that was to fix this issue - but
to no avail.

Is there by any kind a "sprtcmd.exe" process listed in Task Manager ("View
all Processes for all users" or similar)?
