The impression I get is that you are being told that
you need to update runtimes, which you should do
as some of the technologies are used to support even
just browsing.
You do not need the MSXML SDK, just the runtime
service pack. Similarly, if you have the .Net Framework
installed, which a number of MS and third-party application
will want present, then it has a released service pack.
Some applications install a SQL server engine runtime
called MSDE and if present (it will show in services or
in add/remove programs) it definitely needs to be up to date.
The Asp.net account is not installed as an administrator,
and it is sufficiently crippled in the default install state that
it is safe to leave as is.
