Upgrading from MSXML 2.0 MSXML2.XSLTemplate40

Question

I am upgrading an application that uses MSXML2. This has been depreciated and an update to MSXML4.0 or MSXML6.0 is indicated.

I have looked for but have been unable to find advice on upgrading from MSXML2.XSLTemplate40. Advice on upgrading from MSXML 2.0 would be greatly appreciated.

Actually those program ids can be confusing, if you have an application using the program id "MSXML2.XSLTemplate40" then that application uses MSXML version 4. The prefix "MSXML2 is common to all supported MSXML versions i.e. MSXML version 3 has program ids like "MSXML2.DOMDocument.3.0", MSXML version 6 program ids like "MSXML2.DOMDocument.6.0". See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms766426%28v=vs.85%29.aspx and http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms754671%28v=vs.85%29.aspx and http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms764622%28v=vs.85%29.aspx for details on the program ids.

Based on that your description is unclear, if you use MSXML version 4 and want to upgrade to version 6 see http://blogs.msdn.com/b/xmlteam/archive/2007/03/12/upgrading-to-msxml-6-0.aspx.
