Yes! That is EXACTLY the solution for the same problem that was vexing
us.

Our system kept telling us "the patch is already installed" so we
tried the "/extract" trick you mentioned to run "dw20w.msp"
and we let it run. It appeared to be hanging almost indefinitely about
half way through, but it took about 4 hours to completely run
but it ran successfully and solved the problem. Thank you for your
help!

By the way, our server is Microsoft 2003 Standard edition on a Raid 5
(Dell Poweredge 2600) with Sharepoint 2007.
