This would work inside the browser to determine which version of MSXML was installed, but I believe the problem is how one would go about testing both MSXML 3 and 6 using a PI invoked transformation, or better yet, *which* version of MSXML did the tranformation.

Does anyone happen to know off hand if there is an order of precedence for PI-based transformations when multiple versions of MSXML exist on the target client?
