I got a notice from Microsoft Update for XML Core Services 4.0 Service Pack 2. How will I know if I have this product installed and running?

If I don't really have this product installed, I don't want to bother with the update.   Update is KB973688.

CED2,
Take a look at this article.  The first link in this article will have a tool that will open an IE window that will list all XML versions you have.  It will look like this:

    Hi Philofduluth and thanks for posting.

    There is not a free upgrade for Media Center 2005. If this is something you would like to do, I contact your OEM manufacturer and ask if there is a software upgrade, they can provide you.

    If you have all the updates that are available for your system go to http://update.microsoft.com . Here, you can see all the latest reviews and optional updates that may be available to you and make install.

    I hope this helps. Let us know if you have any questions.

  • KB931125 - update certificate root & update KB973685 - XML Core Services.

    Hello

    Is could someone please tell me if I need to install KB931125 - update root certificates. I'm confused you see.

    Looking at information I can find about this implementation updated seems to suggest that it could be applied to people who run IE7. I am running Win XP Pro SP3 and IE8 and so not sure I need it or not.

    Another question:
    I found an update for Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 SP3 (KB973685) but have also heard that it can cause problems with the synchronization of time after installation. It seems ZA Security Suite with firewall havoc. Could someone please tell me if:

    (a) the update causing problems in some cases.
    and, if any
    (b) has a different version that corrects the problem that is deployed or is there a workaround?

    Answers would be appreciated - particularly on the issue of XML as seems to be important for the security.

    Thanks in advance...

    Cliff. Cliff Rigg

    A1. Yes, you should always install an update of the available root certificates to enjoy enhanced security of IE8.

    Updates of root certificates come out every 2-3 months. While the updates of root certificates are installed automatically in Vista and Win7, Windows XP users must install manually via the Windows Update (CUSTOM scan) Web site.

    A2. KB973685 is not a security update. If you (1) do NOT have an installed application that uses Microsoft XML Core Services (MSXML) to treat the XHTML files and (2) that generates a lot of requests when it attempts to retrieve the definition files of Type of Document (DTD) well known to a Server Web World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and (3) these redundant retrieval requests cause the W3C Server block requests DTD you do NOT need to install KB973685 (IMHO).

    Let us work together to solve this problem.

    During the installation of Windows Vista SP1, this problem occurs when a third-party application holds open a file or locks a file that the Service Pack installer should use. For example, an application third-party antivirus or antispyware may cause this problem.
