MSXML critical update

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsme.general (More info?)

JP,

Specifically, which MSXML package is prompting to be reinstalled ?
There were issues with earlier MSXML updates not showing as installed in
the registry. The latest updates should not be exhibiting the same behavior.
To open the registry editor go to Start, Run, type in
regedit
Click OK
The registry key that shows it's installation status is -

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Updates\DataAccess\
Q318203 (for MSXML 3.0)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\MSXML4\Q317244 (for MSXML
4.0)

In the right frame, under Name, "IsInstalled" should be showing a Value
of 1. If it is not, double click it and set the Value Data to 1. Reboot
the system and revisit Windows Update to confirm that it is not reoffered.

JP,

Download the update from here :
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads [...] layLang=en
Save it to the Desktop. Close Internet Explorer.
Go to Internet Options in the Control Panel.
Under Temporary Internet Files click the Delete Files button and, if
you're prompted to Delete all offline content, put a check in the box
next to it, and then click OK.
If the installed antivirus program has a script blocking component
suggest temporarily disabling it.
Now double click msxml3.msi to install it.
Reboot the system after the installation.
Go back to Windows Update to see if it's reoffered.

You're welcome, JP. Glad to see it's sorted out. Would have been nice to
know that the latest Windows Installer for ME was required, dontcha
think ?
