I also have a similar problem but it only affects Update for Office 2003
(KB919029). I've looked all over for solutions but so far no luck. Almost
enough to make one turn off Auto Updates just to get rid of that stinking
shield in the systray.

I'd suggest lowering yourself from that high horse you've mounted Taur and quit being so darn patronizing.

Quite obvious I should say...the links posted above: MSXML 4.00 sp2 and the update are both void, they're too long for the message board.

I do not post to a "forum". The links referred to were not in the message. I do not use a
"web based client" to post.
The subject line had changed.

The person who posted the links should have checked the same.

Presumably after checking your "eggheadcafe.com" forum - these are the links in question -

I was also stuck in the update hell mentioned above. It has to do with some "side-by-side" installation of msxml4.

Yes, the links in the previous comments are both useless due to the length. So, I've made a tinyurl link to the webpage and file that needs to be downloaded (both microsoft)...
http://tinyurl.com/ygbwkk
or to go directly to the download file...
http://tinyurl.com/yx4otu

After you run this file you should have several options. Press the one that says "remove". Then run the .exe again and select "install". If you check your ...\windows\system32 directory you should find msxml4.dll dated 11/4/2006.

I think I've finally been set free from update hell! (well at least for update KB927978.)
