re: MSXML 4.0 SP2 Security Update KB927978

I can't get this update to run successfully.
As per http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927978, I tried installing the
security update directly using
msxml4-kb927978-enu.exe /q reboot=reallysuppress /l*v c:\kb927978.log

The log indicates ...

Any ideas. The current version of msxlm4.dll is 4.20.9818.0 is should
be 4.20.9841.0

Any thoughts?
Thank you
Fred Jacobowitz
