Known issues with this security update
• Security update 927978 for MSXML 4.0, for MSXML 4.0 SP1, and for MSXML 4.0 SP2 does not support the complete removal of MSXML 4.0 because this version of MSXML is installed in side-by-side mode. To work around this issue, follow these steps:1. Remove security update 927978 by using the Add or Remove Programs item in Control Panel.
2. Delete the MSXML4.dll file from the %SystemRoot%\System32 folder.
3. Repair the previous installation of MSXML 4.0 by using the Add or Remove Programs item in Control Panel.
The earlier versions of the Msxml4.dll and Msxml4r.dll files are restored to both the side-by-side folder and the %SystemRoot%\System32 folder.
• You may receive the following error message when you install this security update from Windows Update:
Could not register type library for file c:\Windows\system32\msxml4.dll. Contact your support personnel.

To work around this problem, manually install the security update from the Microsoft Download Center, and then click Ignore when the error message is displayed. To confirm that the installation was successul, verify that the Msxml4.dll file in %systemroot%\System32 is version 4.20.9841.0.
• Security update package 927978 may create a log file. The package names the log file KB927978.log. The package saves the log file inside a folder. The folder has a system generated name. The folder is in the root of a system drive. The path resembles the following:

Although it is optional, you can remove the log file and the folder.

MSXML 4.0 SP2 is now unsupported software, and may expose you to security risks. Microsoft has left MSXML 4.0 SP2 the awkward position by not offering any auto-update functionality.
If you have MSXML 4.0 SP2 currently installed you should consider either uninstalling it (if not needed) or update to MSXML 4.0 SP3. SP3 can be downloaded from: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=15697

I'm having the same problem. Found my root directory littered with temp directories containing msxml4-KB927978-enu files this morning. Looks like Microsoft has screwed up their active update but haven't latched on to it yet. Or worst, don't know how to fix it.... Sorry I don't have a solution for you, but hopefully this will lend some weight (:
