  A security update for Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 Service Pack 2 for x 64-based systems (KB954430) is not installed. Windows Update fails to install this update and error reports: 64 C code. The off button displays an alert and when you place the mouse over it it shows "installs the updates and then shuts your computer."

• 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"

  Download & save the installer for WinXP SP3 on your desktop:

  So I checked c:\windows\system32\msxml4.dll and he says it's MS XML 4.0 SP2, version 4.20.9876.0

  I created my updates so that the system warns me of new updates are available, but I decide to download them and install them.

  I tried to change this setting to a State, where Windows automatically downloads and installs the updates by itself, but there was no difference and these two updates are always a pain in my virtual neck.

  TIP: Read the Symptoms section of http://support.microsoft.com/kb/973688.

  Note that KB973688 is NOT a security update.

  (1) do you have an installed application that "uses Microsoft XML Core Services (MSXML) to process XHTML files" and (2) that "generates a lot of requests when it tries to retrieve well known from the definition of the Type of Document (DTD) from a World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web server files" and (3) to "these redundant retrieval requests cause the W3C Server block requests DTD?

  If you can't answer YES to all three of these conditions, you do not need to install KB973688 and you can "hide"

  1. stop the automatic updates service:

  Start > Right click on run , and then select run as administrator > services.msc (type) > [OK]

  Start > Right click on run , and then select run as administrator >
  (type or copy/paste) %windir%\SoftwareDistribution > [OK]
  Open the download folder and delete its content
  Close the window.
