I have a strange problem and wonder if you can throw any light on it. I use Secunia PSI to keep my HP laptop up to date. A recent scan showed that Microsoft XML Core Services (MSXML) needed manual updating although Windows Update said that Windows was up to date.
A Google search came up with a download called msxml.msi.
I did an Acronis system image and a System Restore point, just in case.
I then ran msxml.msi which seemed to install OK.
Running Secunia again now showed 5 Microsoft XML Core Services (MSXML) programs and said all 5 were in need of updating! Windows Update said they are up to date. The version numbers shown are:
8.110.7601.17857 for 2 of the 5
4.30.2100.0
6.30.7601.17857 for 2 of them.
Thinking, I’ve now made the problem worse, I did a System Restore to the Restore Point I’d made before running the patch and ran Secunia again, but this still showed the 5 programs as being in need of updating.
In order to get back to the original position I ran Acronis to restore the System Image I’d made before starting, but each time I attempted this it failed after starting. Trying to restore earlier System Images also failed.
Can you offer any suggestions?
