Subject:XSD validation using XSV fails in Windows 7 Author:Peter Carlson Date:10 May 2010 09:38 AM
When running the XSV validation engine on a schema file (.xsd), the following error occurs.
===
Running custom validation engine XSV 2.10-1...
Error occurred while creating MSXML COM objects.
Code: 0xc0000073
Could not create the "Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0 " object. Make sure that MSXML version 2.6 or greater is correctly installed on the machine.

I am running Enterprise Suite R2 2007 build 894d, on Windows 7. I checked with xmlversiontext.htm whether the MSXML is in replace mode, and confirmed it is and MSMXLPARSER is mapped to 3.0. Also MSMXL 3.0, 5.0 and 6.0 are installed. However I see Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0 is not listed.

Hi Pete,
the XSV 2.10 engine evidently requires the usage of MSXML 4.0, that a few years ago Microsoft deprecated for security reasons in favor of MSXML 6.0.
Starting with Stylus Studio 2008 Rel 2 we bundle XSV 3.1; you could try downloading an evaluation copy of the latest Stylus Studio 2010 and check if it works on your machine.
If it does you could either upgrade to Stylus Studio 2010 (the best choice! ;-) ) or just take the latest sources for XSV from http://www.ltg.ed.ac.uk/~ht/xsv-status.html and replace the one bundled in Stylus Studio 2007.
Last choice would be trying to install MSXML 4.0 SP3 on Windows 7 (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=7f6c0cb4-7a5e-4790-a7cf-9e139e6819c0&displaylang=en), as ,even if it has been released in 2009, it doesn't list Window 7 as a supported platform.
