setup.exe sometimes has a little logic and other bits of code that are
necessary for a setup to work correctly - not every setup.exe is just a
plain MSI wrapper. But in this case, you just need to point the Sp1 patch
setup at the MSI to get the setup to complete. BTW, With XP SP2 this
requirement of Windows Installer is finally removed.

Simon, I believe if you look closely, there is a difference between the
two
files. When you go to install, the *.exe file will create a temporary
folder on the hard drive for the installation, and it does include a
SKU*.CAB file.

That happens with either one. setup.exe is merely a wrapper for the
Windows
Installer Service. Whether you run the .MSI or the setup.exe makes no
difference - they're identical.

Trust me on this - I used to work at MS as a software developer.
