I wonder if you guys(Steve and Jeff) have some similarities, machine-wise that may shed some light on this. I had problems a while back with a run of HP machines that had the Intel AMT agent running. Updates would download but then the install would fail. Not sure if it has anything to do with your problem.

I went into Add/Remove Programs and uninstalled all instances of Microsoft XML. Did a reboot of the machine and then installed XML Core Services 4.0 Service Pack 2 (KB954430). It installed just fine at that point.

This shows all out of date unpatched items and gives good advice on fixing. Stephen On 31 Dec 2008, at 15:13, Jeff Dinger wrote:No error messages, that is what I found odd. You can have the auto-updater install the "patch", but it doesn't take, as the auto-installer and the scanner still see the vulnerability. No error message in any log, auto-update installer. If I try to manually install any of the other "patches" for this bulletin, it indicates that it's not needed or that codec is not supported. ( I tried the XP and all Vista drivers just to be certain) What I am thinking is this is installed somewhere by some toolset other then where it thinks it should be, so am hunting for it...just not certain which items to search for. :) Best Regards, Jeff -----Original Message----- From: listbounce () securityfocus com[mailto:listbounce () securityfocus com] On Behalf Of Murda Mcloud Sent: Tuesday, December 30, 2008 6:17 PM To: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: RE: Help with MS07-042 - will not seem to install on this one laptop Error messages?-----Original Message----- From: listbounce () securityfocus com[mailto:listbounce () securityfocus com]On Behalf Of Jeff Dinger Sent: Wednesday, December 31, 2008 3:42 AM To: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: Help with MS07-042 - will not seem to install on this onelaptopHello the List! I happen to have a laptop, that does not seem to want to take the automatic security update for Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 Service Pack 2 (KB954430). Several scanners confirms I still have this one vulnerability left (I originally had 2), and went to the MS site, and installed manually (and successfully) on patch that removed the twin vulnerability, however this one remains. Manually attempting toinstallany of the other similar patches fails. Any ideas what services might be running that would cause this not to sync/apply? I'm actually considering asking MS for help, which Iwouldprefer not to do, simply b/c it'll waste 4 - 5 hours of my time doing everything I've already done. Thoughts? Best Regards, Jeff
