It will use MSXML2(.5) unless you install MSXML3 in replace mode. It
will only use MSXML3 if you install MSXML3 in replace mode. It will
not use MSXML4 unless you run the transformation from code using the
specific prog id.

Then it is using MSXML2 (and "the dialect known as XSL"), not MSXML3
(and XSLT).

Have a look at the MSXML FAQ at http://www.netcrucible.com/ for more
information.
