SYMPTOMS

When you use the Visual InterDev 6.0 Source Editor to edit Microsoft Visual Basic Script (VBScript) or JScript code, IntelliSense (Statement Completion) is not available for the Microsoft.XMLDOM object.

CAUSE

This problem is caused by a bug in Visual InterDev 6.0 that makes the application unable to parse the location of the MSXML.dll file.

RESOLUTION

WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

To resolve the problem, locate the following registry key:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{2933BF90-7B36-11d2-B20E-00C04F983E60}\InprocServer32

Double-click the (Default) value for the key, and replace "%SystemRoot%" with the discrete path to your Windows NT directory.

For example, replace

%SystemRoot%\System32\msxml.dll

with:

C:\WINNT\System32\msxml.dll

After you modify the registry, you must quit and restart Visual InterDev so that the changes take effect.

NOTE: The use of Microsoft.XMLDOM invokes an older version of the Microsoft XML parser. For additional information about how to update and use the latest XML parser, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
