An easier way

 

I tried the methods above and continued to get the message that kb936181 successfully installed with it persisting in the updates. I saw this on another site and it worked for me (Vista Ultimate Home edition)

 

Uninstall then Reinstall KB948133 then recheck for updates. All is finally well for me.

Hi Freudi!

 

I use automatic updates to do my installations and when the latest update

was installed, I received the message "Some updates could not be installed".

The message goes on to state: The following updates were not installed:

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

 

When I read your post, I tried your first suggestion and it seems to have

solved the problem. I used the link that you provided, downloaded the update,

and chose repair on the selection menu when asked. Seems OK so far. I don't

know if this will help anyone else.

 

Just wanted to say thanks! Happy New Year!

KB93681 Fails to Install

 

I had this same problem (Windows Vista Home Premium) and MS was of no help whatsoever. I had an update history of KB936181 installing every day for the last two weeks. Thanks to you all for you guidance, especially jaybart and chandler22. I removed the installations of any MSXML 4.0 (I didn't have the Parser version). Once I did that, it automatically reloaded KB936181 overnight on its regular update check. Today it seems fine and thankfully, there's no icon in the system tray telling me to install it again. Thanks to all of you for your help with those of us who "know enough to be dangerous" with our computers!

Did you follow the instructions in the article PA Bear referenced?

 

You should be able to remove MSXML 4.0 using the Add/Remove Programs control

panel. For best results, do this in Safe Mode. Make sure you reinstall it

afterwards, as it wouldn't be installed if there wasn't at least one piece of

software on your computer using it. (Well, OK, it could have been installed by

software that you've since removed.)

 

Harry.

update to prompt for install kb936181. then do the same with any update that
