Windows Update

I noticed shortly after getting my computer back from the shop that one of the Window Updates shows up as being failed. I am using I.E. 7 and this is for #6. Is it still needed, or does #7 fix it? It is the following one:

Windows XP Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 6 for Windows XP (KB958215)

Apparently, you do need it for IE7

Thanks. I'll have to try to figure out how to get it. The weird thing is that the update history on Windows Updates shows it failed, but it didn't show up missing at Belarc Advsior. I'll have to look and see if it is listed as being there or just not at all.

I'll check it out when I am on that computer. If it is already installed (even though update said it failed) wull it hurt to install ia "again, or will it tell me?"
