Ok so it looks like my attempt to diagram didn't come out so well.
Anyway the update Still shows in Windows Update.
If I try remove, what do I do try and run it from Update again,
because I do not see an install option when I run the file.
I figure I'd check before trying.
Under Modify it shows a tree and says to 'click on the icons in the
tree before to change the way features will be installed.
Tree looks like: MSXML Parser--
=MSXML
(Global Installation)
=MSXML (side
by side)
x - XML SDK ( x
over icon)
It looks like a couple of pull downs show what it will do in ea.
instance. Going to try Repair (since I don't think we want to do
anything custom).
Will post in a few results of Repair. Fingers x'ed <g>
HNY to you, too. What happens if you choose Modify, Larry ? Does it
give you the option of installing msxml4-KB954430-enu.exe ? If not,
then choose Repair.

MowGreen, Just for the check of it I went to try the install. It
came up w/3 options. Modify, Repair, remove.
Which do I use, repair? Remove would take it out totally. If I use
remove, rerun the install from Update?
I wanted to check w/you before attempting this. Thanks again
Happy New Yr.
Now, I did the rename w/no prob. What was throwing me off was when
you were saying Start Search. I am used to Start > Run > Cmd (or
whatever).
Now when I go through the steps of a clean boot I have another item
that doesn't match. I went to msconfig.
Under General tab I checked Selective Startup, then unchecked load
startup items. Load system services is still checked.
When I go to the Services tab and checked Hide all MS svcs. I can
only enable not disable them. I have d/l'ed the file already.
For now I guess I'll just set it back to do a Normal startup. I
don't think I missed anything, did I?
I am trying to follow the links you gave me.
Thanks again for all your time.
Just rename msxml4.dll at the Elevated Command Prompt, Larry. No
need to specify anything but that specific file. There is only one
copy by that name in system32.
Start Search, type in command, *right click* command and choose
'Run as administrator' follow the prompts

Ok MowGreen,
Please excuse my ignorance. This Is new to me. I still was still
unclear on your instruction. I did however do an Inet search on
"Elevated Command Prompt " and found a page explaining it a little
better. Now I am still unclear on what to rename.
If you see my prev. post you will see I have 3 - msxml4.dll
files. Rename them all or just the 1 large file?
I don't mind if you try walking me through things step by step as
if I were a total novice vs. Intermediate user.
Thanks again for your attn. to this problem.
You need to run an ELEVATED Command Prompt or you will get an
Access Denied message, Larry. Please see my previous post to see
learn how that is accomplished.
Once you've renamed msxml4.dll from the Elevated CP, manually
download the update from the links I previously provided and
*save it*.
Clean Boot the system now using the steps previously laid out.
This will stop all non - MS services from loading on boot.
Once the system has restarted, *right* click
msxml4-KB954430-enu.exe and choose 'Run as admin ', follow the
prompts.
Reboot after it installs.
Reenable all non - MS services now.
Reboot once more.
Did that get it installed properly ?

MOWGreen,
Maybe it Is good you haven't gotten to this yet. I have to
correct it. I made a sm. error in following the web link
instruction.
I went from the run prompt of Windows itself vs. the CMD prompt.
I did the ren again and it came back 'access denied'.
So I went and searched out the file following the path. I found
3 files w/that name. Each has a different date & file size.
They are 4/18/03 4:46pm appl. ext. 1205 kb 10/9/07 2:07pm appl.
ext 44kb and 4/18/03 4:29pm appl. ext 81kb.
Does this help diagnose any? There are a couple of dll files
that appear to be there more than once.
Thanks
Larry,
There is no KB9554430. Did you mean KB954430 ?
If yes, then see this:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941729
Rename msxml4.dll by opening an Elevated Command Prompt [Start
Search, type in command, *right click* command and choose 'Run
as administrator' follow the prompts ]
Do NOT reinstall KB9554430 when prompted to.
Download and *save* it:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...3c-5261-4f69-83d0-932c430abd14&displaylang=en
Once the download completes close all open browsers and
programs.
Clean Boot the system by disabling *all* non - MS services:

*Right* click msxml4-KB954430-enu.exe and choose 'Run as admin

Did that get it installed properly ?

I am trying to figure out why I keep getting prompted I need
to d/l this Security Update.
I have d/l'ed and installed it several times. It is not
showing as an installed d/l I can remove.
But looking at d/l'ed updates it is there a # of times. Any
help is much appreciated.
