Netscape 8.0 installation kills IE6 XSL transformations

[Guest]

I maintain a public service website that depends on XSL transformations,
http://www.cvkimball.com/Tanach/Tanach.xml. Thursday, 19 May, I downloaded
Netscape 8.0. Afterwards, IE6 (and the Avant browser) failed to perform XSL
transformations on my site, yielding a blank page with no warnings. Firefox,
Mozilla, and Netscape continued to perform the transformations. I unloaded
Netscape 8.0 (and Firefox, Mozilla, too), still no transformations. I
reloaded IE6 following Article ID 257249. Still no XSL transformations in
IE6. Now I must use Firefox to see my site!

How do I get my reliable IE6 doing XSL transformations again?

I have the same problem on my machine. Things were fine before installing
Netscape 8.0.

What version(s) of XML support do you have?

<title>KB278674 - Determine the Version of MSXML Parser Installed on a Computer</title>


Reregister (or reinstall) MSXML4.0?

<title>KB888741 - "An error occurred loading an XML document" error message when you start the Virtual Server Administration Website
program in Virtual Server 2005 </title>

I installed MSXML 4.0, rebooted and still have no luck. I ran the filemon
utility and it says that it's still using msxml3.dll, not msxml4.dll. If
MSXML 4.0 is the solution, how do I get it to be honored by IE?

MSXML4 was a guess.

In that case I would try the same thing with MSXML3.

BTW notice that others were able to back out the changes on XP
using its System Restore facility. (See recent thread by Cybarber.)

Hello,

BTW, you can update to MSXML3 SP7 by installing
latest MDAC 2.8 SP1
