Hi allent2,

Welcome to the Microsoft Answers community.

I suggest you follow the steps described in the article below and check.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/958052

If the same problem still persists, then try the methods below.

Method 1. For the error message, see the article below, as this seems to be a known issue.
MS08-069: Description of the update of security for XML Core Services 4.0: November 11, 2008
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/954430
 
Method 2
To work around this problem, manually install the update of security from the Microsoft Download Center, and then click ignore when the error message appears.
Download the stand-alone package of this patch from the link below and install it.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/973688
 
Method 3 To confirm that the installation was successful, verify that the version of the Msxml4.dll file in the %SystemRoot%\System32 folder is 4.20.9870.0.
See if that helps.
If this does not help, you can try to reset the Windows Update components and reinstall again.

Click the fix these below in the link to do so.

  • Updates failed code: 800B 100?

    VISTA HOME PREMIUM
    SERVICE PACK 1
    32 BIT

    I was asked to install Windows Vista Service Pack 2 (KB948465) and Microsoft.net framework 3.5 service pack 1 and Net framework 3.5 family update (KB951847) x 86 lots of times these days, I try and try, but they do not always just. Why these don't update and download. Since all of these updates my pc seems to be a little erratic, which was not previously, Windows Movie Maker keeps crashing too, when he did not make before. I also have the black start-up screen, all because I think these updates or updates, because they never do.

    Help!

    My pc seems to be potty trained, it is endangered, because of these updates failed.

    I don't know anything about computers or pc, so please try to explain as if you were a child,

    schmungo,
    If you are still having this problem here is a few things to look at.

    The first thing are to check the error code you listed above.  It is a figure of short and I wasn't able to find anything with this code.  Go to Windows Update and select "view history update" and then double-click on one update has failed, which will give you the error code.  Then you can find an error code if you want to get information on this subject.

    Make sure your firewall is disabled when you run the windows update.  Let us know what virus program you use.  Have you updated your antivirus program lately?

    Perform a clean boot , and then do a test.  Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

  • Win7 update error code 643 KB 973688

    A1. What program "At Microsoft fix it program" (e.g. KB971058)? I don't mention a "fixit" in any of my previous posts on this topic.

    A2. It is assumed that you should not have deleted the content of...

    %windir%\SoftwareDistribution\Downloads
    <=this>

    .. .alternance step 2 in my second reply to this topic.

    In addition, if you had completed all stages #1 à #4 in my second response to this issue, Windows Update should no longer offer KB973688.

    A3. It is quite possible that the preparation of updated system (or CheckSUR) tool had already been downloaded & run my Windows Update.

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

    (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 don't need to install KB973688 and steps #1-#4 in my second reply to this topic should prevent Windows Update from the offer.

    Sorry, but I can't be any simpler than that. Yes, it's a little complicated, but it isn't either "rocket science". Good luck.
