Thanks for your help here, guys. Unfortunately your recommendations were
of no avail but I did discover that I have only one program (AFAIK) that
uses SQL. Since I haven't used this prog for over two years, and could
reinstall if necessary I've deleted it, after consultation with the
program makers, who were unable to say why the update would not install.
They also said that the update was unnecessary, given that the prog
worked perfectly fine. However I was annoyed at having the constant icon
reminding me to install the update, and now I don't have that! Problem
solved.

Have you even bothered to open a no-charge support incident yet?

It's a friggin' SECURITY update, d00d!

This security update resolves several privately reported vulnerabilities in
Microsoft Windows GDI+. These vulnerabilities could allow remote code
execution if a user viewed a specially crafted image file using affected
software or browsed a Web site that contains specially crafted content...

I dunno who "they" are but "they" did NOT provide you with SQL Server 2005.

"They"=The "program makers" of the "only program [he] has that uses SQL," a
program which "[he has not] used in two years."

He deleted it, which solved the problem to his satisfaction, so there's no
reason for your exasperation or for him to open a support incident. Chill.

I didn't say they did. But it got on my computer somehow and I linked it
to this software because its name was in the title of the SQL server in
the list of services.
