windows update and sp1 vs sp1 a

[Teris]

Hi All,
Friend's xp pro pc (legal copy)

Trying to help a friend with her updates.....

Windows update reports sp1 critical update is required.
Half way thru d'ld/install error is displayed - "server
cannot be reached". After multiple retrys a link to sp1a
express is offered for manual install.

Question is:
1. Being as the pc has some sp1 hotfixes currently
installed and running msjava, what will sp1a do to these
hotfixes and the java?

thx
Teris

Teris,


SP1a does not have the Microsoft Java Machine.
