My installation history show successful installation of both updates five
times already. Why do I keep getting prompted to install the same updates
over and over?

Thanks,
Mike

I received the following reply from MS Support:

Based on your description and our research and experience, this issue can be
caused by the registry key settings are not registered correctly.

1. Click Start, Run, type regedit in the open box, click OK.

2. Go down to the following registry directory:

If you install the XML 4.0 version of the patch (msxml4qfe.exe) you should
get a registry key written to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Updates\MSXML4\Q317224

If you install the XML 3.0 version of the patch (Q318203_MSXML30_x86_en.exe)
you should get a registry key written to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Updates\DataAccess\Q318203

If you install the XML 2.6 version of the patch (Q318202_MSXML20_x86_en.exe)
you should get a registry key written to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Updates\DataAccess\Q318202

3. Check if the "IsInstalled" value is 1. if not, right click the
IsInstalled value, click Modify and change it to 1.

I checked the registry keys for Q318202 and Q318203 as suggested below.
Both of the "IsInstalled" values appear to be set to 1. The data entry for
each is 0x00000001 (1) . I will check this again next time Windows Update
wants me to download those patches again, but my guess is that there is
something else amiss; why would several of us have the same problem?

I did see a post in here that Microsoft was working on this issue. At the
moment, I am waiting to see if I get any more prompts for these updates.
Nothing seems to be a problem from it. Whatever.
