XML Core Services 4.0 Service Pack 2 annoying message

Windows update keeps wanting me to download (XML Core Services 4.0 Service
Pack 2) update which I have done 5 times already.

I been here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941729

and follow the intructions but I still get that annoying message.
how can I stop it???

windows os Xp Pro sp3

The reoffering issue is being caused by 'something' holding msxml4.dll
in use and therefore it can not be replaced by the update.
Either Clean Boot the system -
How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" state
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310353

and then install the automatically downloaded update
or, follow the instructions at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941729

BUT, do NOT install the automatically downloaded update. Instead,
download and save it manually from here:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

After following the steps laid out in KB941729, manually install
msxml4-KB954430-enu.exe, *NOT* the automatically download version of it.

I solved the problem by downloading MSXML 4.0 SP3 beta - it replaces the
previous service packs.
