RE: XP sp 2

another user posted this resolution to the problem:
This is most likely a most likely an MSXML installation problem.


Register MSXML3.dll and see if it helps:

1. Click Start.

2. Choose Run.

3. In the Run box, type (or copy/paste from this post)

%windir%\system32\regsvr32.exe %windir%\system32\MSXML3.dll

(note the space there in the middle)

4. Click OK.
