M/S XML Core Services 4.0 Service Pack 2 KB954430

[RAWANDLAW]

Hello,

I keep getting a prompt to download this update. I have already downloaded it in the past month or so. I have tried all of the "helpful" information on the Microsoft site on how to rid myself of it, but nothing worked!!

I am so tired of all this, what is happening? Why does it continuallytell me that the update is available for download in my automatic update?

I am running on M/S XP Home Edition.

What other information do you need to help me with this problem?

Thanks so very much,

RAWANDLAW

@ exile360 -

I have a similar 'constant' note of a download/update that never comes through -

It has been there for a week or 2 now - The KB954430 you list is not in my Add / Remove -

- XP SP3 - Desktop -

[exile360]

Is that the update that always shows? If so, then download the update installer I linked to and try to install it that way to see if that corrects the problem. If it doesn't, then please create a new topic in the PC Help area so I can work with you separately.

Thanks

@ exile -

I just used the link you have given - The update sign has gone for now -

I hope that was it -

Thanks -

Delete the above - It is back - I will call back later - Sorry but must go for a while -

[exile360]

You're welcome

That's the most common fix for such issues, and is also the first thing to try if an update won't install, as it usually corrects it, unless no updates will install, that's usually a deeper issue .

Hi Exile 360,

I did as you suggested. It was in my ADD/REMOVE list, so I removed it, rebooted, downloaded it as you suggested from the site you gave me. Then I rebooted again, checked for updates, it WASN'T there.

So far I have NOT gotten the promt back as yet. I will monitor it for a few days and get back to you if the prompt shows up again for the same update.

If I do not contact you back regarding this problem then PLEASE accept my sincere THANKS for you very useful and prompt help.

Have the greatest day,

RAWANDLAW

@exile.

i just back home from netherlands,visting fammily,so forgive me if there are other topics about this,or scold me.:

anyways i booted up and find two updates didnt install.

one was the update others found probs with the other was the mallicious tool remvol app.

both didnt install.

i simply downloaded the problamtic update and installed itall went fine,i didnt remove the KB954430 update beforhand as i thought i was just auto updates playing up.

would you think i should leave as is or remove KB954430?

afterwards the malcious tool downloaded ok.so i guess alls ok but i aint sure so here i am.

thanks my freind.

If KB954430 was the update that didn't install and you manually installed it then there is no need to remove it beforehand as it never really installed, it only attempted to .

i overcomplexed myself as well as my ususal trerrible spelling.

on the 4th off nov this update failed;

"Update for Internet Explorer 8 for Windows XP (KB976749)" it later installed properly.so when the update/s on the 18th also failed,i just rebooted tried again after a quick scan and peek within hijack and a few other folders to see if something nasty was causing this.

nothing found and the updates below still failing;

Security Update for Windows XP (KB969947) & Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - November 2009 (KB890830)

i then manually installed the update "Security Update for Windows XP (KB969947)."

without removing anything,it seemed to work as i was then offered;

"Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - November 2009 (KB890830)" witch downloaded as per normal and properly installed.

i was stpuid yesterday and didnt look to see if the update i manually installed installed properly,looking at revo unistaller today i find it has.i was over tired and confused myself a tad yesterday as well as yourself.

all updates in place so far simply wonder why i didnt have to remove KB954430 when others have had to,today after a good kip and a freash mind i think nothings in error.

and feel like i have wasted your time,when i should off looked harder at the problem myself.

sorry.

[exile360]

No need to apologize, it gives me something to do .

[mbyuser]

ok.

i will try harder to confuse you next time. (as if i needed to)

no in all seriousness,this forum seems self teaching in ways.

anyways this isnt gernral chat,best not ramble.
