  • Please, help me to install the a security update for Microsoft XML Core Services 6.0 Service Pack 2 (KB954459)

    I am running Windows XP Professional SP2 (32 bit).  My Windows Update is configured to inform me of updates that are available and to wonder what to do each time.

    For the last two months I have problems with these two updates:

    1. Update for Microsoft XML Core Services 6.0 Service Pack 2 (KB973686)
    2. a security update for Microsoft XML Core Services 6.0 Service Pack 2 (KB954459)

    Two of them are available for me to download and install every time I connect to the Internet. I always choose download and then install. The first update is always installed successfully, but continues to offered to me AGAIN and AGAIN. I have reviewed my story to update on the Microsoft Update site, where I can see that this update has been installed successfully for more than 10 times. But the continuous automatic updates offering him.

    Problem with the second update (a security update for Microsoft XML Core Services 6.0 Service Pack 2 (KB954459)) is worse still - IT STILL FAILS.  During the installation process, I get no error message, but in the end, I always get:
    «Updates could not be installed...» The following updates were not installed:
    A security update for Microsoft XML Core Services 6.0 Service Pack 2 (KB954459)
    ".»
    Of course, in my history of editing, he still has the red icon, and the error Code is 0 x 643.

    I tried to install it manually, so I downloaded the Service Pack msxml6-KB954459-enu - x 86 .exe (981 KB) from: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=59914795-60c7-4ebe-828d-f28cb457e6e3&displaylang=en
    But when I ran it, I got this message:
    "Installation of MSXML 6 Service Pack 2 (KB954459) failed because a newer version already exists on the machine. "To continue, uninstall the higher version and re-run the installation of MSXML 6 Service Pack 2 (KB954459) program."

    I don't understand.  I thought this msxml6-KB954459-enu - x 86 .exe installation file for the update of safety only, but it has proved to be the Setup for the entire application.  And that means this "version more?  How did get on my computer?  And what do I need to uninstall?  In my Add/Remove Programs list that I don't have that:
    -MSXML 4.0 SP2 (KB954430)
    -MSXML 4.0 SP2 (KB973688)
    -MSXML 6 Service Pack 2 (KB973686)

    In my System32 folder, I have a file called msxml6.dll (created: 19 08.2009).  On the Properties dialog Version tab, I see that its version is 6.20.1076.0;  If that matters.

    My security programs are:
    -BitDefender Total Security 2010
    -Malwarebytes AntiMalware
    -Online Armor ++ Firewall
    (They are all up to date and none of them has ever interfered with the installation of any update of Windows or Microsoft).

    Can someone tell me please:
    1. What can I do to make the installation of this update for Microsoft XML Core Services 6.0 Service Pack 2 security
    (KB954459) succeed?
    2. what to do with an another update (update for Microsoft XML Core Services 6.0 Service Pack 2 (KB973686)) which
    constantly is available once again, although my editing history shows that it is installed successfully?

    And another question:

    These two updates prevent the automatic updates to offer upgrade to SP3 of XP?  I am currently on SP2, but I really need to upgrade to SP3; not only because support for SP2 has stopped, but more because there are more programs that require SP3 must be installed.  A month ago, automatic updates offered the update to SP3, but the installation failed for an unknown reason ("... the system could not find the specified file.").  I'm wrong if I think it will be offered me again only after I install these two updates correctly?

    First of all, you have 2 firewalls; ® Of BitDefender Total Security 2011 (block intruder (implement a two-way firewall)) and Online Armor

    "Do not use more of a firewall, 2 or more is a way sure to hit trouble, as with AV"

    It shows very bad programming when Windows cannot recognize even when it is not necessary and simply start a never-ending loop of the installation and uninstallation, without explanation. It of time for Microsoft to show some leadership and is "repair Windows 8" or give him the "heave ho" like Vista. "."

    However, thanks for the information.

    The last update of Windows Defender is substantially the same; in other words, it says it must be installed and when it is administered to the "go ahead", he displays an error and wrote its need not.

    Time for Microsoft to make the call for new programmers.

  • Impossible to install the last Lr update

    I'm in the United Kingdom. I got Lr since December 2013 and have always been able to install updates successfully. However, I can not install the newest one. I do not get redirected to the usual update page. Instead, I am redirected to a page to sell USA Lightroom. Why is this happening?

    I use the second of my three licenses that I had to reinstall Lr after a laptop rebuild in February this year, but I don't think it should affect my ability to download updates.

    It offers 6 LR, which is not a free upgrade, with the exception of the subscribers to the CC cloud.

    If you have a standalone license, so you need this update.

    The latest version of LR 5 is 5.7.1 and you can download it here if you are still on an old version: Windows, Mac

    Buy the upgrade go to page from adobe UK. At the bottom of the selected products, scroll down to LR, click on buy and select full upgrade instead of the version.

    I use Windows Defender and I even added Vaio Care to the list of excluded files.  When I called Sony tech said that my computer is no longer under warranty, I would have to pay $100 to fix.  Does anyone have solutions or ideas as to what is happening?  Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Hi earthdancer,.

    Have you tried reinstalling your VAIO Care program and get the latest update from eSupport?
