Microsoft Update & SP1

Hi,
I recently upgraded to SQL Server 2005 SP1 (developer edition) on WinXP Pro
+ SP2 by using the Microsoft Update service.
No issues were noted during the upgrade process, and EXEC master..xp_msver
returns 9.00.2047.00 in the ProductVersion column.
However, subsequent running of Microsoft Update still shows SQL Server 2005
SP1 (KB913090) as needing to be installed.
Is this a bug with Microsoft Update, or does it mean that SP1 isn't
installed properly?
Any assistance gratefully received.

It looks like you are on SP1 on that instance! Do you have multiple
instances on this machine? Did you check the installation's log files
(hopefully this is going to be in the same place as a manual installation!).
Have you rebooted since the upgrade?
If you are confident that it is upgraded then you could choose the option to
not show the update again when the update details are expanded.

Yes.

Yes. And reapplied the upgrade. And rebooted after that.

I'm as confident as I can be, I suppose. Other than master..xp_msver /
SELECT @.@.VERSION, is there anything else I can try...?

Yes, but I was loathe to do that until I'd at least asked in here. I've done
a Google search, and there doesn't seem to be anything about this specific
issue. Lots about SP1, of course, but nothing relating to problems with
applying it through Microsoft Update.
I should receive SP1 on DVD any day now as part of my MSDN Universal
subscription, so I'll reinstall it from that and then remove the option from
Microsoft Update if that doesn't fix it.
