Guest Mery Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 On the Automatic updates I keep getting the message to download & install this patch (Security Update for Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 for Service Pack 2)(KB936181). According to my history I have done this correctly but the message is still there when I reboot.
Guest Debbie Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 My computer has been doing the same thing. Over and over again for days now. It has got old I turn of my auto update. I don't like to do that but what else can you do. I would love a reply that would help you and I both Mery. If you get help but not here please let me know and I will do the same for u.

If necessary disconnect from the Internet and shut down everything to get a clean install. E.g. then you could even try installing it during a safe boot (when probably even more than "everything" would be shut down.) Verbose logging may provide better clues if even that doesn't work. Good luck Robert Aldwinckle ---

I did try Roberts suggestion about the manual download, but I'm still getting the update requests. I emailed MS customer service this morning and am still waiting for an answer. I will post whatever they tell me. Mark

Go though the steps, get the ...done! message indicating that it was successful, then within a few minutes get another automatic update saying i need these same files. This happens both via internet download (via Microsoft Updates site) as well as a direct download onto the harddrive.

This happens both via internet > download (via Microsoft Updates site) as well as a direct download > onto the harddrive. I just figured out how to correct the update circular repeat on a Vista (Home) Premium system using the following high level process: 1. Conduct a search for "Security Update for Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 Service Pack 2 (KB936181)" 2. Locate the exact download of this update from Microsoft 3. Download the Update 4. Execute the Update 5. Run the Update 6. Deinstall the Existing Update 7. Reboot (depending on the speed of your system, have a snack, a glass of wine, etc.) 8. Restore your system to a normal state 9. Manually install the patch 10. Reboot your system 11. Have another glass of wine (I strongly recommend a "Merlot" I love Merlots) 12. Run the Update patch again, but this time :REPAIR the stupido patch!!!! 13. Reboot your PC 14. Return your PC to a normal state 15. Break open another bottle of "Merlot" 16. Now you can Party!!! 17. My recurring prompt to install this foolist patch is no longer, I've check for updates, and MS indicates that no updates are available at this time! 18. Please advise if this helped you at all.

Please advise if this helped you at all. Please keep in mind that, all of this must be done at an administrative level. Prior to checking this thread I reboot, and checked for updates, and I am no longer prompted and this update is loaded successfully. So, my very high level (simple) process did work for me. I am only volunteering a solution that appears to work. An alternative, would be to just run the repair. If this is your issue, it won't hurt to give it a try. Please don't blast the messenger...
