Re: Problems doing XSL Transformation using ASP

Oops ... I am just a beginner and have been involved with XML/XSL for the
past 2 weeks.  If you find out please do let me/us know.

BTW, Msxml2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument[.x.y] ... where x.y could be 3.0, 4.0.
If you drop it, system picks up the default MSXML DLL.  Else you may specify
which one to use.  If I didn't specify the version explicitly, I would be
using 3.0 as that's the version of MSXML installed on my machine.  That
might not be true if your machine only has, say, MSXML 2.0.  And you are
right 2.0 was WD-XSL version of MSXML and 3.0 and 4.0 are later version and
are compliant with XSL/Transform.  Check out the initial dry (not quite)
pages of MSDN help (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library) for MSXML3.0 and
MSXML4.0

But your question is legit!  What is this MSXML2???
