Re: Help with MS07-042 - will not seem to install on this one laptop

Try running secunia (FREE) PSI tool against your PC.
This shows all out of date unpatched items and gives good advice on fixing.

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. :)

Hello 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 to
install
any 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 I
would
prefer 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
