No Rangarajan is using MSXML3. Msxml2.DomDocument is MSXML3. 

The error reported says: msxml3.dll error '80004005'
Also an evidance that he is using MSXML3

Check if your dummy.xsl is in the same directory as the asp file
Open the dummy.xsl in IE to see if it is well formed

Change this to: xslDoc.load(Server.MapPath("dummy.xsl"));
Sometimes asp as a little trouble in finding the files

Add here:
       if(xslDoc.parseError.errorCode!=0) {
         response.write("Stylesheet error:<br>");
         response.write("Error: " + xslDoc.parseError.errorCode +
"<br>");
         response.write("Reason: " + xslDoc.parseError.reason + "<br>");
         response.write("Line: " + xslDoc.parseError.line + "<br>");
         response.write("Char position: " + xslDoc.parseError.linepos +
"<br>");
         response.write("Source: " + xslDoc.parseError.srcText +
"<br>");
       }

This will report your error with more accuracy

You might want to do the same here. Just copy the above code and change
xslDoc by xmlDoc
