Hi Cyril,

if you use some of the XML functions, like xmltocursor() or cursortoxml(), these functions depend on MSXML being installed on the computer. On my installation CDs I always include KB832414_MSXML3.0_x86.exe which is available for free download from Microsoft. I guess it is also possible to get the Install Shield Express to automatically check whether MSXML is already installed, I don't use ISE myself.
