MSXML 4.0 Security Update Reoffering



Several of you have encountered the problem with the MSXML 4.0 Security Update being reoffered again and again. At Microsoft we have been work at trying to find the best and least impactful way of addressing this fix. We are in the final stretch of releasing an update through Windows Update. An update should be available very soon.

In the meantime, you can work around this issue by repair the current MSXML 4 installation by following these steps below:

1. Download the latest MSXML 4 SP2 update from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=24B7D141-6CDF-4FC4-A91B-6F18FE6921D4&displaylang=en
2. Run the following package (msxml4-KB927978-enu.exe) with the following command-line:

/q REBOOT=ReallySuppress REINSTALLMODE=amus REINSTALL=MSXML,MSXMLSXS,MSXMLSYS,MSXMLSUPP,MSXMLSUPP2

This command-line will force the installer to run in repair mode, which will fix the version of MSXML4.dll installed in the %windir%\system32 folder. After running this command, the version of MSXML4.dll should be 4.20.9841.0. Once the version of MSXML4.dll is at 4.20.9841.0, the update on Windows Update should no longer offer.

If you try the above work around and it does address the reoffering problem, please let me know.

Thanks you and sorry for any inconvenience this has caused you,
Peter Saddow - Microsoft
