Update KB936181 "successful" almost daily since 8/14/07...

I'm running Vista Home on a new laptop. The following update:

Security Update for Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 Service Pack 2 (KB936181)

has installed MANY times since 8/14/07, all of which are indicated as
"successful." I just did a manual update (instead of letting it
automatically update), and when the laptop rebooted, there was the message
again stating that an update was available and it's the same update.

Help!?

Give downloading and installing KB941833 a try:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en

If that one fails too and/or KB936181 is still beeing reoffered afterwards,
have a look into the "Known Issues" section of the MSKB article dealing
with KB936181: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936181

Freudi

That seems to have worked! Thanks!

I am running Windows XP Home and am getting the same problem. I have
installed it numerous times and it says succcessful, but it always shows up
as needing to install. I even went to the problems site and uninstalled it
with the run command and then re-installed. Same problem. Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Hi

I have the same issue with KB36181 - running Windows Vista Home Premium.

I have done as requested and generated the LOG file but is is too long to
post in this discussion group.

Are there any salient points within the LOG file which I could pick out and
post separately? Or another method to get the entire LOG file across ?

Thanks

My apologies over the blank previous post. I am new to tis forum.

I have had the same problem with both KB941831 and KB941833.

Following the MS guidance, and what is below works for me - so far.

Have theMS web site download page for the relevant update ready to click on
download

Uninstall the update.

Go to your folder Windows/system32 and delete msxml4.dll

Go back to the website download page and download the update. When asked
'Run' the file.

When you are advised the update is installed, restart your PC.

Check that the upgraded .dll file has been installed.

See the 'Known issues with this security update' here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941833

As suggested on the above page:
> WORKAROUND
> Method 1
> Use Microsoft XML Core Services (MSXML) 6.0 instead of MSXML 4.0.
