MSXML 4.0 SP2 Security Update Problem

[Guest]

When I use Windows Update on my new computer (Dell - XP Pro SP2) I have (2)
updates that appear. They are (1) MSXML 4.0 SP2 Security Update (KB927978)
and (1) MSXML 4.0 SP2 Security Update (925672). I have downloaded and
installed SUCCESSFULLY, as indicated by Windows Update, multiple times.
Whenever I scan this new computer for updates, these (2) updates are still
there. I went directly to Microsoft’s download site, downloaded the updates
and manually installed them as well. I rescanned this computer again and the
updates still show up. I selected to hide them but then Windows Update warns
me every time I go there that I have Critical Updates hidden that should be
installed. How can I resolve this? Thanks for your assistance!

Tried that, but got message that another installation was in progress so
could not install, or words to that effect.
The program was downloaded but will not install, how do I delete it? Can't
do it in add/remove programs since it is not installed. Help!!

I reinstalled 4.0 and the patch. Still shows up in Windows Update. Then I
installed MSXML 6.0 trying to upgrade the version hoping that would fix it
but the old 4.0 updates still appear in Windows Update. I'm out of ideas.
