What exactly fails?

You might want to try explicitly instantiating the versioned ProgIds (.30 etc.)

The CreateObject worked, the resulting object accepted an XML string without complaining about parsing errors, but we could not extract data out of the result. While we have not tracked down the specific problem with whatever parser was instantiated, UnInstalling .Net and re-installing our system (which will install the XML parser if necesary) restored functionality.
