Be very careful with MSXML 4.0 because it changes the way many things work in MSXML especially XPATH queries in SelectSingleNode() and the like. THe most serious issue is that Default namespaces are no longer supported and must be explicitly assigned, which requires some extra code.

>Final resolution, I had to add msxml3.dll, msxml3a.dll, msxml3r.dll to the windows system dir. I marked only the msxml3.dll to self register. All work well now.
