Security Update for Windows XP (KB2686509) installation issues
This update is unusual, and is notorious for failing to install. The cause is that the update is slightly different between standard Windows XP and Windows Embedded 2009, so if you’ve selected to receive Embedded 2009 updates on XP, the incorrect version of this update will be downloaded.
Despite the name, this update is not a security fix - it only creates a log file listing vulnerable keyboard layouts on your system. More information can be found in the Microsoft Support article, and this mailing list thread.
To fix this, manually download and install the Windows XP variant of the update:
