MSXML 4.0 SP2 Installation Problems

[Craig]

It appears that my MSXML 4.0 SP2 (KB927978 and KB936181) are corrupted as
well as my .net framework installs.

A very important program is not functioning and the tech support over there
suggested that these programs may be the culprits. When he attempted to
uninstall and reinstall them we got error messages on them all. He was right.

For KB927978 it says,

"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is
unavailable.

Click OK to try again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the
installation package 'msxml.msi' in the box below.

Use source:
e:\1c36409ef7fec974e1476d5c53\"

This one is so frustrating because I can't get anything to work. I tried
installing MSXML.msi over it but there are error messages on that. I tried
doing it in safe mode as administrator and it stated that "The administrator
has set policies against this kind of action." I tried to find a way to give
my other accounts access.

For all of these files I'm getting all kinds of unsolveable (for me) errors.

Is there something safe that will just rip them out so I can put in some
fresh installs? The programs that are failing due to these programs just
happens to be my McAfee.

Oh yeah, for the .net framework it turns out I have 1.1 but Windows Update
has version 2.0. That won't install.

Please, I know there are so many questions pertaining to the error messages
but I just wanted to beg someone out there to walk with me through this.

Thanks in advance.

I've been having an awful three weeks with my PC.

For just a little more info, there was a .vbs virus that scorched through my
system recently. I finally got rid of that and now this.

Pleas help.

Thanks... I was looking for a way to delte one of them.

The Windows Update post was a mistake. I didn't notice I was in that category.

This is such a pain. I have no idea how to delete these files. And that's
what those
links you sent me suggested... delete them and uninstall them. That's what I
want
to do but my problem is that they won't delete.

I'm using XP Home. I can't log in as administrator outside of safe mode.
When I try to delet in safe mode it says there are set policies against it.

I'm so stuck.
