Distributing XML

[Keith Patella]

I'm using Visual C++ 6.0, but since there doesn't seem to be a vc.xml
newsgroup I was hoping someone here would know my question.
Does anyone know what exactly I need to do to distribute .xml with an
application? Originally I would just include all the xml.dll 's and the .ini
file in my application directory and I created a .bat file to run
regsrv32.exe on the msxml4.dll. A person on Win98 is having an issue where
the xml script is not working and I went back to the microsoft site and
noticed there is a sp2 there now. In the release notes it talks about
running a .msm file, but my computer Win2000 doesn't recognize this as a
valid file type so how would I add that to an installer? Also should the
..dll's be in the Windows/system directory and not in my application
directory when I register it?

Thanks for any help in advance.

MSM is a merge module for the Windows installer.

I am not an installer expert so don't know what you should do with it, but
maybe check an installer newsgroup. ?

on the location of the files, If you regsvr32 the msxml4.dll , then it
doesn't matter where you put it, because the registry says where to find it.
But typically n windows2000 boxes msxml4.dll is found in c:\windows\system32
