A security update for Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1 XML Editor (KB2251487)

Friends, y ' All must help me with that.

I don't know all you Vista users know aware of the KB2251487 of security update.

Told me all the time that I need to install this particular update. I click on install and after 72hrs, 365 days or something else, the installation is still stuck at 0%.

  1. It's bugging me to no end. I searched in the Microsoft forums for help on this topic and I tried all them; None of them work.
  2. I called Microsoft support even, but I was told that I will be charged $ 99.00

I mean... come on!

Could someone out there please help me out on this... for free?
Please, I beg you!

Thank you, I would really appreciate it!
