Same update prompt

I keep getting prompted to install Security update for microsoft LML core
services 4.0 service pack 2 (KB936181) I have installed it like 8 times and
have no idea if for some reason its not taking or what the problem is.

I have the same problem! Have updated 10-12 times, but it keeps popping up.

Count me in. Same problem. Update history on my update website confirms half
a dozen downloads of an update with the same ID number. Does someone know
what's going on?

Me too. 10 times now, and all updates are showing as installed. The same
one is installed each time I close my comp. down. Any answers anyone?

The security update is not listed when I use the ADD or Remove Programs
although it is listed 6 times under Update History. How can I "uninstall"?
HELP!

Which version of Windows ?

In XP you can show hidden files, folders, and system files:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tuto...l62.html#winxp

Using Windows Explorer [ Start > All Programs > Accessories]
navigate to the WINDOWS folder [directory]
Open the $NtUninstallKB936181$ folder
Open the spuninst subfolder
Run spuninst.exe

Which antivirus/security software is installed ?

It's a little hard to understand what to do about it... what should I do to
get it to stop intalling over and over again? The article listed many things,
and I didn't understand half of it..

Thank you. I have Windows Vista and McAfee anti-Virus. I followed your link
for Vista re hidden files/folders but when I searched for
%SystemRoot%\System32, Msxml4.dll was not listed. (I'm sure at this point I
don't really have to explain that I don't know what I am doing) I played
around for 2 hours. Deleted everything with MSXML 4.0 I could find, manually
installed updates 936181 & 941833 (I think). I don't know how to "verify that
the Msxml4.dll file in %systemroot%\System32 is version 4.20.9848.0" to
verify that the install was succcessful per the "Description of the security
update for Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0" instructions. So far it looks
like I lost the dreaded repetitive install problem but my Kodak Easyshare
software is totally messed up I noticed others have the same problem. Any
advice ?(I did contact Kodak and did everything they advised including
uninstall &reinstall the software but that did not work.) Thanks again.

Which Version of Windows is installed, Anetten ?
From KB936181, for XP :

> 1. Remove security update 936181 by using the Add or Remove Programs item in Control
> Panel.
> 2. Delete the Msxml4.dll file from the %SystemRoot%\System32 folder.
> 3. Repair the previous installation of MSXML 4.0 by using the Add or Remove Programs
> item in Control Panel.

The update will be listed as 'MSXML 4.0 SP2 (KB936181)'
Click the Remove button. If it is NOT listed, show hidden files,
folders, and system files:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tuto...l62.html#winxp

Using Windows Explorer [Start > (All) Programs > Accessories], navigate
to the WINDOWS folder [directory] and see if there is a
$NtUninstallKB936181$ subfolder. Open it and then open the 'spuninst'
subfolder. Double click spuninst.exe to uninstall KB936181.

Then navigate to WINDOWS\system32
Locate msxml4.dll
Delete it
Close Windows Explorer

Back in Add/Remove Programs, see if this is listed:
MSXML 4.0 SP2 (KB927978)
IF it is, click the Change button
That *should* repair MSXML 4 and replace the file you just deleted.

IF it is not listed and/or there is no $NtUninstallKB936181$ subfolder,
download KB936181 from here and SAVE it:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en

Close the browser and any other open programs. TEMPORARILY disable the
installed antivirus/security software. Consult the Help file or visit
the manufacturer's web site to learn how this is accomplished.
ALL services of the AV must be stopped, too.

If this makes you uncomfortable while still being connected to the
net/network, then disconnect the system for now.

Install msxml4-KB936181-enu.exe now
Restart the system whether you're requested to or not.

PRIOR to reconnecting the system, REENABLE the installed AV/security
software FIRST.

Did that get it installed properly ?
