Hi
Can somebody plpease explain in simple terms, what msxmls are and what they are for?
At work we often have to un-register and re-register the msxml's listed above whenever there are IE problems.

Thanking you in advance.

It's Microsoft's XML file parsing component.

You can use it to load and parse an XML file.

IE uses it to load and parse the HTML and XML documents that are displayed in the browser.

In typical MS fashion there are dozens of different version of the files lying around each with their own peculiars quirks nad defects.
