Vista - XML core service 4.0 service pack 2 (KB941833) - WHAT THE!!!

Hi folks,

Can someone please advise which group I need to post this thread to (or
even better help me out with a solution):

Firstly, I note all the guidance re the KB936181 installation issue (ie
it keeps requesting an install every freakin day).

I've followed that guidance and now have a new beast to deal with. I'm
now getting the - please install Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 Service
Pack
2 (KB941833) every time I boot up/log on.

Yes - it's installed, several times, and yes I've turned off auto
download, but please help me out with an easy step by step guide to
resolving this issue once and for all. I followed the Microsoft fix,
did the command prompt deal, go several errors like people report i.e.
access denied etc and now the KB936181 doesn't pop up, but this new
bloody update does.

Is Microsoft going to offer a patch or update that will resolve this
mess? It's a bit unrealistic to ask non tech people to play around with
deleting files from the System directory and reinstalling stuff in a
particular order that has taken years to accumulate in order to fix
their problem.

I would really appreciate an EASY guide that puts this to bed. I
understand many of you will probably think - 'shut up and get an apple
you loser', but I'm keen to stick with Windows for the time being.

I run Vista Home Premium.

Cheers

Thanks - I'll give it a go.

Quick one though - Are the first set of MSXML reinstalls the same as
the second set with the links? The first set don't have links, but the
second set do. I note that the numbers are different so should I get
the KB925672 and KB927978 from the Microsoft site?

Well you certainly gave me plenty to read about!

The link
http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...629c/msxml.msi
will download the original version of MSXML 4.0 SP2.

The way I read the articles, KB925672 (MS06-061) and KB927978 (MS06-071) are
updates which will appear listed at WU if they apply to your system. They
are each a TOTAL replacement for the previous. In other words, MS06-061
totally replaces the original listed above, and MS06-071 replaces either the
original or MS06-061. From reading KB936181 (MS07-042), it would appear,
again, that it is a total replacement for all earlier versions, AND it
specifically states Vista as being supported. Then there's KB941833, which
like the others entirely replaces previous versions listed above, but does
NOT include a clean-up procedure, which is where I'm guessing you ran into
trouble in the first place. Thus I would make the leap and install it
directly after using the Cleanup utility.

Check this for great support - I called Microsoft last night, they
remoted in to my PC and fixed the issue in 2 minutes. They loaded up a
simple program that remains on my desktop - some bat file they ran from
notepad. I had no idea they offered that type of support totally FREE.

PROBLEM SOLVED :-). Awesome work from the MS people

Sure thing - Away from the laptop for a day or two, but when I get on
I'll post the contents of the .Bat file. I'd also be happy to attach it
to an email if that helps. It was amazing that I got a fix on all the
XML reinstall issues in just a couple of minutes with no hassle. They
knew the exact issue and were ready to fix it with a click. Way easier
than trying to navigate all the other options and suggestions (although
totally appreciated) ;-)

Cheers

copy into notepad and then save as a .bat file. Run then check for
updates, then run again and check again for updates.

Cheers
