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/tutorials/tutorial62.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/tutorials/tutorial62.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/details.aspx?FamilyID=021e12f5-cb46-43df-a2b8-185639ba2807&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 ?

Locate msxml4.dll, *right* click it, choose Properties, and then click

the Version tab. It will show the Version of the file that is installed.

 

%systemroot%\System32 translates to WINDOWS\system32, if that helps.

 

This KB article is for Vista:

An update is available that improves the compatibility and the

reliability of Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 Service Pack 2 on a

Windows Vista-based computer

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941833/

 

See the ' MORE INFORMATION ' section.

As to the Kodak software ... if it's on a CD suggest you Cancel the

installation and see if you can view the files that are present on the

CD. Use Windows Explorer. If there is a copy of msxml4.dll present

suggest you drag a copy of it to the Desktop and then see what Version

it is, as described above.

When the Kodak software is installed it *may* be replacing the copy of

msxml4.dll that is present in WINDOWS\system32.

 

If that's the case, you will have to uninstall the update, KB936181, and

then reboot.

Ignore the alert to reinstall it.

Then install the Kodak software.

Now reinstall KB936181.

Restart if requested to.

I have Vista Home Premium. Should I do the same as for XP or do you have some

new instructions? Thanks so much!

Same instructions, just a different KB #:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941833

 

See the 'Known issues with this Security update' heading.

Except for the KB #, the instructions are the same.

 

The MSXML update for Vista is KB941833. It will show as that in

Add/Remove Programs. If it will not uninstall from there, the uninstall

folder will be $NtUninstallKB941833$.
