How can this work if your binaries are not in their pristine conditions?
Such as when you have downloaded updates through Automatic Updates or
Windows Update? Wouldn't it result in some files being downgraded to the
version found on the install disc, while other files are kept in their
updated versions? This sounds like a good recipe for a mess.


That's exactly what it does. The MS versioning system is, er, lacking.
Repairing XP brings it back to the install state.
