Hello. I have a MacbookPro. I installed Windows 7 Professional 64-bit in the bootcamp partition. I have been using Fusion to run Windows 7 without any problem. Recently, I need to use XP Mode to run some old software. Whenever I tried to activate XP Mode under Snow Leopard via Fusion, I keep getting an error that:

From vmware's knowledge base, it mentions that there is a patch which solves my problem.

When I tried to install it, I got a message that Windows6.1-KB977206-x64.msu has already been installed to my system. Anybody knows how to resolve the issue? Thanks.
