According to
this user, he had the same problem and had to update his java then run the update twice and the problem went away.
According to Microsoft: If you are running Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, or Windows 2000 SP4 without the Microsoft VM installed, you cannot install this update to the Microsoft VM. If you try to install this update to the Microsoft VM on a computer that does not already have the Microsoft VM installed that is running Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, or Windows 2000 SP4, you receive the following message: Microsoft VM This setup will only upgrade over an existing version of the Microsoft VM. If you click OK, you receive the following message: Microsoft VM The installation is complete. This message is incorrect. The Microsoft VM is not installed if you do not already have the Microsoft VM installed. and here:
Note that Microsoft does not provide a downloadable version of the Microsoft VM for computers that do not already have the Microsoft VM installed. If you try to install a recent version of the Microsoft VM (version 3809 or later) on a Windows 2000 SP4-based computer that does not already have the Microsoft VM installed, you receive the following error message:
Microsoft VM This setup will only upgrade over an existing version of the Microsoft VM.
So I guess the question is.... Do you have Microsoft VM installed?
What OS do you run? Service pack?
To find out what version of VM you have installed do the following:
1.
On Windows NT or Windows 2000, choose "Start", then "Run", then type "CMD" and hit the enter key.
2.
On Windows 95, 98, or Windows Me choose "Start", then "Run" then type "COMMAND" and hit the enter key.
3.
At the command prompt, type "JVIEW" and hit the enter key.
4.
The version information will be at the right of the topmost line. It will have a format like "5.00.xxxx", where the "xxxx" is the build number. For example, if the version number is 5.00.1234, you have build number 1234.
You should see something like this:
