Thanks Robert, I just figured out how to stop all of those KB Updates from
installing successfully and then repeatedly showing back up to be installed
again. After reading your advice and a few others I did this very simple
thing:
By the way I'm running Windows Vist Home Premium, but I think this will work
for most Windows OS.
First you need to make sure that the Secure Patch Microsoft XML Core
Services v4.0 Service Pack 2 is installed. Which it probably is.
Then go to windows update history and just make a note of any of the KB
updates that keep showing up ex. (KB936181) there may be a few of them.
Then go to Windows Control Panel - uninstall programs - and uninstall all of
the KB's that keep showing up in Windows Update.
Then go to this link
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads and type in your
particular KB update# in the search box next to the All download box.
That will take you to the page you'll see the download link for your update,
click on that to go to the ACTUAL DOWNLOAD SITE for the update.
From there download the update don't run it save it MANUALLY to a folder or
desktop for later install.
Close down all programs and manually run the application. If asked to do
normal install or custom pick custom and select global instead if side by
side and then next. If any programs interfere with install select ignore. and
finish it on out. You will see that it is a much better install than what the
windows update manager does.
Then like Robert says be sure and restart the computer right then.
I've done 4 KB's this way that kept showing back up for install and they
have not shown back up since. The windows update notice stays off fro a while
now.
