Find the MSXML_.DLL in your \Windows\System32 (or \WINNT\System32 ) folder.
You may find more than 1 xml.dll files, which is fine.
Use Windows Explorer, locate your file, highlight it and do a RIGHT-Click. Select Properties and then Version.
Verify the version of msxml4.dll matches the "post MS 06-061" listed at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/269238/
For my XP system, with XML 4, that's msxml4.dll with version 4.20.9839.0
That /is/ the result after the latest update.
