Re: kb936181 keeps showing up/not installing

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Download the update from here and *save* it:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=021e12f5-cb46-43df-a2b8-185639ba2807

Then boot to Safe Mode and rename msxml4.dll from an Elevated Command Prompt [eg. right click command and choose Run as admin. Follow the prompts]

Then restart to normal Windows mode and manually install
msxml4-KB936181-enu.exe
IGNORE any prompt to reinstall the update that was downloaded automatically. Install the manually downloaded update.
Reboot. Then install the compatibility update if needed.

I am having this problem and have tried all the advice I can find. I have:
Dell XPS M1530
Windows Vista Home Premium
the alert of new updates shows up everyday, I download it, it shows that it was succesful. The log shows it was successful, but I went to uninstall it and there is no update with this code (KB936181) in the "Installed Updates" file. Confusing...I tried the command prompt (ren %windir%\System32\msxml4.dll msxml4.old) it says "access denied"...the command prompt shows C:\users\eric> so I believe it recognizes me as the administrator...I manually try to do the update along with (KB941833) that was recommended to increase the compatibility and when I do so I get an error message "Error opening installation log file. Verify that the specific log file location exists and is writable".
Any suggestions?
Thanks
