SP4 - WU, VS.NET, MSDN not working -> MSXML

[Luis Angel]

Hi,

I've successfully installed windows 2000 SP4, but now there are a lot of
things that are not working, and I think all of them are related to the
MSXML library.

Windows Update: It fails with a (0x8007007E) error message. This
is what my "Windows Update.Log" file says:
2003-07-09 08:22:15 06:22:15 Success IUCTL

Visual Studio.NET 2003: It gives me this error message:

No se pudo cargar Visual Studio .NET porque no está
disponible el archivo MSXML3.DLL.

MSDN library left tree: It fails again with a javascript message
Line: 922
Car: 9
Error: The automation server can't create object
Code: 0
URL:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/shared/deeptree/htc/deeptree.htc
Of course, the source code at this line is: var
objXMLDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");


So definetily I think the error is related to the MSXML component.

Does someone know how to solve this, or what other tests can I do to
get more specific information?

Thanks in advance,

Hi again,

I've already solved the problem. I don't know why, but the SP4
installation removes/uninstalls/whatever the existent MSXML 3 component from
the computer, and theese non working applications need this version (and not
the actual 4 !!??).

So the solution is so simply as reinstall this version. If someone
is getting the same problem it can be downloaded from:

Hope this helps to someone,
