KB9554430

[Larry]

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.

MowGreen,

Yes I did have 1 too many 5's. It is kb954430. I didn't understand what you
meant by Elevated CMD Prompt.
I did Start-Search but was lost from there. I show For Files or Folders,
Using Outlook, For Inet Audio/Video or For People.
I went to article you pointed me to. I went to Start-Run and entered ren
%windir%\System32\msxml4.dll msxml4.old.
It came back w/Windows can not find 'ren' (eventhough I had no ' '). Make
sure you typed name correctly & try again.
I even tried typing it, and got same msg. Did I miss something or do
something wrong?
Thanks

[Larry]

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

You need to run an ELEVATED Command Prompt or you will get an Access

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*.

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.

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.

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.

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

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:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

*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 ?

[Larry]

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

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

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.

After the repair did not work, and I didn't hear back from you, I followed
the rest of the article.
I did a remove. But there was no place to just do a install outside of from
the regular ms d/l pg.
I took a shot at it, and for now it seems to have worked. I have not run MS
Update again, but
before it was just always there. So it seems to have worked. If all stays
good for a couple of
days I thank you for all your feedback. If it happens again I shall post

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:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

*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 ?

I am trying to figure out why I keep getting prompted I need

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.

Larry,

If you removed MSXML 4.0 SP2 and then installed KB954430 using the
manually downloaded update, then it replaces the MSXML 4 SP2 parser with
an updated version of it that mitigates the vulnerability the update is
meant to address. It should not be reoffered again.
You're mowst welcome and am very glad to hear your ordeal appears to
finally be over <w>

After the repair did not work, and I didn't hear back from you, I
followed the rest of the article.
I did a remove. But there was no place to just do a install outside of
from the regular ms d/l pg.
I took a shot at it, and for now it seems to have worked. I have not run
MS Update again, but
before it was just always there. So it seems to have worked. If all
stays good for a couple of
days I thank you for all your feedback. If it happens again I shall post
again.

You MUST Clean Boot the system as whatever is holding msxml4.dll in
use will not allow it to be replaced unless it's not running.

After running Remove, did you reboot the system ?
If not, do so, then just double click the manually downloaded
msxml4-KB954430-enu.exe *after* a Clean Boot to install it.
There should be no other options presented and it *should* install.

Cathy,

See if the Windows Event Collector and Windows Module Installer services
are Disabled or if they can be started:
http://www.error0x800f0826.com

If that does not resolve the update installation issue -
0x800f0826 Another package in the same transaction has failed. This
resulted in rolling back all packages in that transaction to their last
known good state.

Try this first ... go to Start > in the Search field type -> Command
*right* click Command Prompt and choose 'Run as administrator'.
At the prompt, type in the below and press Enter afterwards

reg delete HKLM\Components /v Advanced InstallersNeedResolving
exit

Restart the system and see if the updates can install now.
If no joy, open the services console again (as shown in the above
article) and locate the Windows Update service.
Double left click on it and then click the Stop button
Leave the services and Windows Update properties open for now.

Using Windows Explorer [Start > All Programs > Accessories]
navigate to this location
WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download
Delete *all* of the contents of Download
Close Windows Explorer

Now go back to the Windows Update properties and Start the WU service.
Restart the system
Open Windows Update in the Control Panel
Click the Check for updates link and see if WU detects that updates are
needed.
If yes, then strongly suggest you not install more than 2 at a time for now.

If any needed updates were detected, downloaded, and installed, great.
If not, then do the above steps once more and this time delete all of
the *contents* of the DataStore subfolder in SoftwareDistribution .
You will need to stop the WU service once more and the Background
Intelligent Transfer Service [BITS] *if* that starts automatically on
system startup or if it's now running but is set to Manual on startup.
Reboot once more and see if the system can update now.
