Hi CloverZJ
Do you have the patch already installed on the computer, or you do not want to install the update?
If you have no need of the offered update you can hide the update, then Windows Update will not it offer you again unless you choose to restore it. Here's how to hide an update:
a. open Windows Update by clicking the Start button. In the search box, type Update, and then in the list of results, click Windows Update.
b. do one of the following:
· Click the link that tells you important updates are available if you have some updates to hide.
· Click the link that tells you optional updates are available if you have optional updates to hide.
c. Select any update that you want to hide, right-click, and then click hide update. Do this for each update you want to hide.
d. click OK.
See below for the link-

But if you have already installed the update and it is always offered the update several times then I suggest you refer to the Microsoft article provided below and follow the steps in resolution.

I try to install the KB2251481update:
Update of security for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 XML Editor
When I run it on my computer in the Panel of control/updates section to update, it fails. I get an error from the A66 without details.
Here's a screenshot of the error of the A66.
I am running Vista Home Premium.
It has been suggested for this A66 error to go to the section control/uninstall Panel, click on the "MS .net Framework 4 Client Profile" and fix it. I did it successfully. I tried to run the update again; and he failed again with the error of the A66.
I read a post on another forum of MS who suggested downloading the patch here:
http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=26383
I downloaded and tried to run. I read the description. He said it was for VS 2005 for Vista.
He failed. I got another error:"The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded is may be missing or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch. »
Here is a screenshot on my account Flickr of this error.
Can anyone help with these errors so that I can install the update for Visual Studio 2005?
Am I missing something?
I can provide more information?Marz
