You could always write a script to query the registry for th patch
status. Look in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\Windows
XP\SP3\(KB#)\Filelist

also, make sure you check the version of the dll by querying the
attributes of the file itself, as windows has been known to write the
registry info then crap out before overwriting the actual file
