Here is jaybart's message with the solution. The only difference was that
my Parser file was 1.6 MB.

I did use an other solution but kb936181 vanished for a few days reappeared
again. Since I applied jaybart's solution I was able to install kb936181
correctly and kb936181 was never reoffered again.

Good luck.

Update KB936181 fails to install - jaybart
17-Aug-07 01:20:05

A-HA!

It seems the problem has been resolved- so I'll mention for the benefit
of any other non-tech types like me who look at this board..

In my case, during the trial routines of uninstalling previous versions
(and the current version 936181) using Add or Remove Programs, I
somehow overlooked the little extra program in the Programs list "Msxml
4.0 Parser (0.06mb)" that was positioned immediately below the other
Msxml 4.0 installations.

I've no idea what a Parser is or does, but after deleting this (in
addition to all
previous versions of msxml 4.0 --including 936181-- ) it seems I was
finally able to download and install 936181 correctly using the auto
update function- the annoying yellow shield is gone now, after having
re-booted..and the microsoft update site tells me there are no
outstanding patches needed.

Anyways thats how it was resolved.

This is the fix that I tried and was only temporarily able to stop
KB936181 from coming back up. A few days later WU started the KB936181
notifications again. I'm too busy dealing with other computers right now
to stomp on this issue, but I'm sure I'll get it sorted out sooner or
later...

Ron,

It seems that different systems need a different solution. If you have not
done so yet, you might have a look at:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936181

Note:

In Step 2 the system would not let me delete either of the 2 Msxml4.dll
files.

Step 1 and 3 seemed did work. I thought I had solved the problem but 3
days later I was reoffered KB 936181. It seemed to have worked for other
people.

Good luck!
