Joshua, Julia, Thanks for getting back to me about my MSXML/Installer 2 problem. Sorry I couldn't respond earlier: net connection down. Apologies to xsl-listers who don't want to know about MS-related problems, but I think a lot of them would be interested in this one, so I'll copy to list. I did indeed follow the instructions for manually uninstalling and deregistering my MSXML4 beta on Win2K Pro). After downloading and installing Installer 2 and rebooting on request, MSXML4 release version installed fine and worked perfectly with IE5.5, XML Spy, from the command line, and when called from various VB apps of mine. But Office 2K apps put up an installer window, said they couldn't find data1.msi, and when pointed to it from my CDROM, said it wasn't a valid file. When I clicked on the .msi file from the CDROM in Explorer, I got the same invalid file message whether I chose the "Repair" or "Reinstall" options offered. I also noticed that the shortcut properties window for my Office Apps now said "This Application is installed on demand", even though my installations had been full installs to my local disk. Eventually, after posting to the list, I tried my FrontPage 2K install CD. This time, it let me do a "reinstall" from its data1.msi, and once that was done, not only did FP2K run, but all my other O2K Apps were back again. At that point, the water company drilled through my cable, so I couldn't spread the good news til now. So I'm happy(ish) again, but still a bit puzzled.
