asp_web_howto thread: using MSXML2 in ASP
Message #1 by "Peter Byers" <pb@s...> on Tue, 22 Jan 2002 18:22:40

Hi
I have a PC running Windows 2000 Professional
It has IIS installed (it is also running PWS - I am not sure why !!)
Can anyone give me a lead on how to find and install MSXML2 for use by ASP
- (presumably it will be installing a version of MDAC ??)
When I do that, will it also be available for PWS or only IIS
Thank you in advance - I hope !!

He asked for MSXML2 not MSXML4.
Peter, which version exactly do you need? microsoft's numbering and
naming of msxml is v confusing so make sure you get the version that gives
you the functionality you want. According to MS, win2000 includes msxml
v2.5 although the dll is actually called msxml.dll. The dll name changed
to msxml2.dll from v2.6.
just to confuse things more, msxml3.dll contains a com object with progid
msxml2.domdocument, not msxml3.domdocument.
Personally, i would say try the dll that ships with win2000 and see if
this gives you what you need. If it doesn't (e.g. you need XSLT) then
forget msxml 2.6, try msxml3 or msxml4 (this is new and i'm not sure
exactly what it supports or whether its recommended for win2000).

just to clear things up a bit...
MSXML2.dll - original version contains XML 2.0, which comes with IE5
MSXML2.dll - later version contains XML 2.6 comes with ADO 2.6
MSXML3.dll - contains XML 3.0, comes with IE6, can be installed to
replace older versions or in side-by-side mode
MSXML4.dll - contains XML 4.0, only exists in side-by-side mode
you can specify which version of domdocument you want to create by appending
the version number
CreateObject("MSXML.DOMDocument.3.0")
or in VB, if you have a reference to MSXML3, its New DOMDocument30
if MSXML3 was installed in replace mode, CreateObject("MSXML.DOMDocument")
creates a version 3 domdocument, in side-by-side mode it creates the
previous verion unless the version is specified.
To create a version 4 domdocument, the version must be specified:
CreateObject("MSXML4.DOMDocument")
or
CreateObject("MSXML.DOMDocument.4.0")

Well excuse me.
"MSXML2" is what he requested and that is ambiguous given Microsoft's naming
convention. I would assume if he wanted version 2 he wouldn't be asking
because it's already on his system if he has IE. XML 4 Core Services (the
new name) has some great performance advantages, even over XML Parser 3, we
tested it 8 times as fast with large transformations (xslt), that's my
recommendation!

4 is far stricter than 3 though - we just use 3 as a result... one day when
we get round to tightening up our XML we'll start using 4 ;-)
