Thank you Shenan that was helpful.
Actually, what happened was we initially clicked to ignore the xml update.
Then the system asked to update KB936181, we then updated this. Then we went
to add/remove programs and uninstalled the KB954430, rebooted, then installed
kb954430, it installed and at this point it asked to reboot. It worked!
How strange that it took this unusual step to get it to work. Very strange,
but as long as it worked that is ok.
We will keep this posting or the search you requested for future reference
should we have to reinstall winxp mc. Thank you Shenan for the helpful
details. It does pay to have our hands held :). Thank you. -s

Hi,
We run xp media center edition. The system keeps asking us to
download and install the update (Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0
Service Pack 2 (KB954430).
It downloads and installs, but each time we reboot the system it
keeps asking us to download and install. We look at the
updates history it says we've installed it 7 times so we know
it's installing.
Can anyone help us? Not sure why this is happening. We have
update to date all security patches and service packs. Thank you.
