I am going to try this. I have had nothing but problems since installing the Kodak Easyshare software. Including not being able to use IT! Fortunately I have another computer that I didn't install that software on and I can retrieve photos from my Kodak camera just fine without their lousy software. The camera is great though. They just need to stick with making cameras and forget the software end of it. They don't know what they're doing! Amateurs.

This solution I found on the help community website from Microsoft. Thanks lazyace and Mike for giving such a great solution.

these steps:

or if you don’t like clicking on links, google “KB954430” and click
on the second link labeled “‘DOWNLOAD DETAILS: MSXML 4.0 SERVICE PACK
2 (*KB954430*)’ (http://tinyurl.com/o4sycj)” at microsoft.com.

@Don,

I am having the exact same problem. I checked my update history and it indicates that I have successfully installed this update about 15 times. However, the update software always tells me that it needs to be updated again.

I’m having problems at a customer site with this patch (KB954430). After being loaded on servers it caused port 1492 to lock. Uninstall/reboot clears the condition. Ideas?

From server log:
The presence of the PATCH MSXML 4.0 SP2 (KB936181) on the server requires the installation of the following patch via windows update:

Jack, I didn’t reinstall the Kodak Easyshare, I was afraid to. It felt so good having all my problems disappear. I didn’t really need it as I have Adobe photoshop and use that instead. I saw in another blog on this site somebody having the same problem with KB936181 reinstalling and their solution was to uninstall their Kodak Easyshare software.

I had the same problem i.e. repeated install of 954430. I got into bulletins and was told that there could be a conflict with a previous update. I finally uninstalled the previous 2 updates (one was 958644), and 954430 successfuly installed complete and no more notices to update. Might work for you. I found 18 pages of problems people were having with 958644.

Caralee,
Did you reinstall Kodak Easyshare ? I have that also and use it everyday. Plus I have the update wanting to install every 5 minutes if I install it.

I found the cure, at least for me. After I would uncheck and hide various updates that kept popping up, a new one every time I hid one of the other ones (that had already updated over and over). I went back and uninstalled my Kodak Easyshare software. That was the only program I had installed since the problem started back in late November. Wa-la! It stopped all the repeated Windows Updates and everything is working perfectly. I’m getting all the new updates without problems. It even fixed an issue I was having with my anti-virus software that wouldn’t automatically update itself, I had to manually do it and ignore messages saying it couldn’t connect to the server. That’s all fixed too!

I suppose the problem of installing this update has something to do with security settings (at least in my case). As i uninstalled Norton Internet Security suite (which failed to detect a trojan horse) and installed PC Tools security suite on 24 th of january and next day this update installed without any problems.

Now this is weird, I did what Wally suggested by unchecking and hiding the update KB954430. That seemed to work because it quit installing it over and over (up to 120 times). Now it is doing the same thing with another update KB936181. That one was supposed to install back in 6/24/08. When I looked at the update history in Windows Updates , that one doesn’t show up as being installed. Now it is installing over and over.

When I look at my Programs and Features in the Control Panel, it doesn’t show either one of them having been installed. Grrrrr

I don’t know if this will work for everyone but I am running Vista 64 bit and I had the same issue…. installed the same thing about 20 times.
What i did was “uncheck” the update then i right clicked the update and selected “hide”. After that two new (but different) updates were required (restarts after each) and now my computer says its up-to-date…. thank god..
Hope this helps
