Secrity patches vs Checked OS's

[Tom V S]

My be this is out of topic.

I couldnt install the security patches on my Windows XP/2000 checked OS's.
The windows update fails. Downloading the patch and installing them directly
dint work either, it complains that it cannot install the patches on a
Checked OS's. I am wondering how did you guys manage to install ?

Checked OS = Debug version of the OS. Contains all the asserts, error
checking code, debug out statements etc etc. Thus the system is will be
running slow, but good for debugging software that works (closely) with
Microsoft components. Not a rtail version, comes with MSDN subscription.
