XML Parser Woes

[Jimbob]

Hey folks....

I'm loading a DOMDocument into a recordset, and I get the following erorr message: -

Persisted XML files cannot be opened with the version of the Microsoft XML Parser currently installed on this computer. Upgrade your system through a Windows 95/98 Service Release or Internet Explorer 5.0 or later.

Now i've made sure i have msxml.dll, msxml2.dll and msxml3.dll all working in 'side by side' mode, and i'm using IE5.5

I know the code is correct, because it's an example program I downloaded (i'm just trying to learn about xml)

Has anyone encountered thsi beforehand, as it's really stressing me....

Well, sounds like you are using all the very latest XML offerings from Microsoft, so I can only suggest that you check the DB side of things.
You say you are loading a DOMDocument into a recordset, I assume this is using ADO 2.5 or greater, as older ADO builds do not support XML.

If this is not of any use, can U post me the DOMDocument source and the code you are using, and I'll do some tests.

Cheers for replying....

What I did was run xmlinst -u and re registered all of the dlls again, in order of release.

it all works now - i guess i had done something wrong when i registered them the first time

I think it mentions on the ms site that when installing the later versions of the parser you must use the UPDATE option in order to retain all versions compatibility, as some of the newer/later versions are still not as fully supported as the older.......


Bit like ie a short while ago
