Also is "Windows Update" something diferent from "Microsoft Update"?
I suspect it is asking you to agree to reinstall the Windows Update components (it displays the licence for this from the web).

It doesn't. You have to specify the change manually. For XP, go to Windows Update and click Install Microsoft Update and for Vista, go to Windows Update (on the start menu), then click "Change Settings" and tick "Use Microsoft Update". You may need to agree to a licence to enable this.
