MSXML Parser: Installation & Application in Windows XP Pro Problem

[SHC]

Hi all,
I have a Windows XP Pro PC with Microsoft Office 2003 and Visual C++.NET 2002.
I downloaded Microsoft XML Core Services (msxml (Windows Instaler Packge),
msxml4msms(Win32 Cabinet Self-Extractor), msxmlcab (Win32 Self-Extractor) and
msxmlsdk) and extracted the msxml4sxs32.msm, msxml4sys32.msm, xmlsdkdoc.msm,
msxml4, msxml4.dll, msxml4a.dll and msxml4r.dll files in my C:\MSXML4.0>
folder.
1) hello.xml and hello.xsl in Command Line failed.
I tried the following:
C:|MSXML4.0>msxsl hello.xml hello.xsl -o output.html
The error message was: 'msxml' is not recognized as an internal or
external
command, operable program or hatch
file.
I do not know whether I have the MSXML Parser installed in my Windows XP
Pro
properly or what is wrong with the execution of my xml-xsl command.
Please help and tell me how to make the MSXML Parser working in my
Windows XP Pro PC Command Line.
2) I have my installed MSXML software in Windows XP Pro sniffed by using the
topxml program. The sniff results of my local System MSXML Parsers are:
|v| Microsoft.XMLDOM
|v| Msxml2.DOMDocument
|v| Msxml2.DOMDocument2.6
|v| Msxml2.DOMDocument3.0
|v| Msxml2.DOMDocument4.0
I plan to get my first DOM project started in the Access 2003 program.
Which
DOM reference should I pick to use? How can I start my first XSLT project
in the
Access 2003 Module? Any thoughts?
3) I want to do the basic XML and XSLT programming in my VC++.NET 2002.
Where should I put the hello.xml and hello.xsl files when I do the
VC++.NET
project? Where can I get the output.html when I do the xml-xsl transform
in
the VC++.NET project? All the XML and XML-Database Books I read just talk
about XML stuff and say the end-user should deploy MSXML Parser correctly
(how?) and do not give the readers where the .xml, .xsl and .htm files
should
go or be placed during the VC++.NET project execution!!?? Any help in
this
area?
Please help and give me your tips/instructions for getting the MSXML Parser
started in my Windows XP Pro PC.

Thanks in advance,
SHC

If you want to write .NET code, that is managed code with VC++.NET then
you do not use MSXML at all, instead your managed VC++ code makes use of
classes in the .NET framework like System.Xml.XmlDocument or
System.Xml.XmlTextReader.
