  I guess the first problem I have is that I came across this forum to get an answer to a question from windows 7, and all I can see are XP and Vista of questions and answers.  It's great, but I have the update above installed on Vista (Ultimate x 64).  I can't seem to get installed it on Windows 7 Professional.  When I stopped, he told me do not turn off the computer, because it is to install an update.  But then the update is back.

  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]
  Double-click automatic updates > click stop
  (Stopping the service will take a moment)

  2 remove the contents of the download folder:

  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.

  3 start | Control Panel | System maintenance and (if you use Classic view, skip this step). Windows Update: Select the installed updates: right click on the Update for Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 Service Pack 2 (KB973688) | Click hide update | Confirm the prompt UAC (User Account Control), if any, & OK your way out.

  4. start the automatic updates service:

  Start > Right click on run , and then select run as administrator > services.msc (type) > [OK]
  Double-click automatic updates > click Start
  (Stopping the service will take a moment)

  =====================================
  To restore/show updates in Win7: Start | Control Panel | System maintenance and (if you use Classic view, skip this step) | Windows Update | Restore hidden updates: Find and select the update you want to install. Click restore. You can now select once again it and install through the normal process.

  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." When I press it it says is to install the update and my computer shuts down and when I restart it it shows it is update and configuration of the update but when loading Windows Vista, in windows update, it shows that updated security for Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 Service Pack 2 for systems x 64 (KB954430) becomes available again. I tried to manually install the update by downloading, but when trying to install windows install indicates: "the feature you are trying to use is on a network that is not available.

  MSXML 4.0 SP2 (KB954430) and MSXML 4.0 SP2 appear in Control Panel programs and features. When I click on them the only option is 'an install.

  To try to solve this problem, I emptied historical Windows Update. I tried Windows Installer Cleanup to remove MSXML 4.0 SP2 (KB954430) and MSXML 4.0 SP2 so I can reinstall it but Windows Installer Cleanup crashes and displays a command prompt with a lot of text.

  If Windows Update has found that you don't need, you don't have to worry about this. They probably have fixed an error in the update system.

  The first update (KB972036):

  During the restart process, after the message "do not turn off your computer", the following message (Please note that I use the Slovak version of Windows Vista, so I tried to translate the message to my knowledge):

  "Update has not been configured correctly, cancelling the changes.

  I tried to install it manually, I downloaded "Windows6. 0-KB972036-v2-x 86.msu", but the result is exactly the same.

  The other (KB973688) update:

  When installing it via windows update, there seems to be no problem, but it is not settled.

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

  I tried to install it manually as well, I downloaded "msxml4-KB973688 - enu.exe", but when I try to install, it comes up with the error message (screenshot below).

  I'm just having trouble installing these two updates, everything else is pretty much installs ok, but whenever I update via windows update, I have to leave out both for the aforementioned reasons.

  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.
