Windows CE Blues

[Gordon Shirley]

Here is my problem as best as I can put it:

I have a handheld device that has Windows CE on it.
The .NET Compact Framework is also installed.
I have a C# .NET Windows form app that I am writing for the handheld.
The .NET CF provides the System.Xml namespace for all my XML needs EXCEPT
XSL transforms.
I need to be able to do XSL transforms on the handheld.
I have been lead to believe by online posts that you can do XSL transforms
by including the msxml3.dll COM object as a reference.
I realize that depending on how my OS was built by the manufactor of the
device that I may have limited functionality avaliable in the installed
msxml3.dll.
I have made a test app by running the command line tool tlbimp against the
msxml3.dll installed on my PC and including the resulting msxml3TypeLib.d ll
as a reference.
When I deploy and run the app on the device, I get the below message:

COM object with CLSID '{CFC399AF-D876-11D0-9C10-00C04FC99C8E}' cannot be
created due to the following error: Class not registered .

So, naturally I go to the device and try to register \windows\msxml3 .dll
using regsvrce.
However, I get the below error:

\windows\msxml3 .dll was loaded, but the DllRegisterServ er entry point was
not found.
DllRegisterServ er many not be exported, or a corrupt version of
\windows\msxml3 .dll may be in memory. Consider using PView to detect and
remove it.

I search the web for an app called PView but it seems to be antiquated and
no longer available.
So, naturally I try to unregister \windows\msxml3 .dll but I get the same
error but for a different entry point.
So, naturally I guess that the msxml3.dll loaded on my device is different
than the one that I have on my machine, and try to copy it over to my PC.
Turns out I can not copy the msxml3.dll installed on my device because it is
in ROM and objects in ROM can not be copied.
Here is where I got stuck.
