CAUSE

If you were directed to this Microsoft Knowledge Base article after you clicked Send Error Report, this problem occurs because an MDAC update was already installed on the computer, but the computer was not restarted after that update was installed. When you try to install another update, you are prompted to send an error report.

RESOLUTION

To determine whether you are experiencing this problem, click the What data does this report contain link in the Send Error Report dialog box. If you see the value "P7:17040" in the Error signature section of the dialog box, an MDAC update was already installed on the computer, but the computer was not restarted after that update was installed.
