There are two versions of this tool.
Xmlversion.exe contains a built-in user interface (UI) for the .ocx file;
Xmlversiontext.exe does not. Xmlversiontext.exe was created because some
computers do not have the minimum requirements for Xmlversion.exe. The minimum
requirements for Xmlversion.exe are Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.01, Microsoft
Script Runtime (Scrrun.dll), and Microsoft Windows Common Controls 1 and 2. The
minimum requirement for Xmlversiontext.exe is Internet Explorer 4.01.
The downloads contain the following files:
|
| Xmlversion.htm | Xmlversiontext.htm | Versions.xml |
| Xmlversion.ocx | Xmlversiontext.ocx |
| Versions.xml | Versions.xml |
How to Use the Tool
- Extract the file to a folder and register the
Xmlversion.ocx or Xmlversiontext.ocx file. Make sure that you see the message
box that confirms that the .ocx registration was successful. To register the
Xmlversion.ocx file, click Start, click Run, and then type regsvr32
<pathofocx>\xmlVersion.ocx (where
<pathofocx> is the path to the .ocx file).
To register the Xmlversiontext.ocx file, click Start, click Run, and then type regsvr32
<pathofocx>\xmlVersionText.ocx (where
<pathofocx> is the path to the .ocx file).
NOTE: If <pathofocx> contains spaces,
you must enclose the path and the .ocx file in quotation marks (").
- In Internet Explorer, open Xmlversion.htm or
Xmlversiontext.htm.
Description of the XMLVersion Tool
NOTE: This description applies to Xmlversion.exe only; it does not
apply to Xmlversiontext.exe.
- Versions collects information on currently installed MSXML parsers and
their installation modes.
- The default MIME version shows the parser that Internet Explorer uses.
- Proxy shows the current proxy server setting, which is useful when you
diagnose issues with the ServerXMLHTTP object.
- ProgIDs displays all MSXML objects that are registered in the registry,
along with their threading models and inprocsvr32 keys.
- Copy Text copies the ProgId to the clipboard for easy
programming.
- Search Registry Searches the registry for the key.
- Report generates a Results.htm file to summarize the
findings.
Description of the XMLVersionText Tool
NOTE: This description applies to Xmlversiontext.ocx only; it does not
apply to Xmlversion.ocx.
Although the tool displays everything when
you first load the XmlVersionText.ocx in the browser, you can click the .ocx
file at any time to see those values again.
Description of the Versions File
NOTE: This description applies to the Versions.exe file only.
Because Microsoft is producing different versions of MSXML, the list
of the versions has been separated in an .xml file. Every effort is made to
keep this file updated. You can modify this file yourself, or, when a new file
is available, you can download it from this site and replace the XML file in
the Ocx directory with the file that you download. Updates to the file are most
likely to occur when a new version of MSXML is published.
Note the
following:
- In MSXML 2.6 and later, version-dependent ProgIds are
introduced for side-by-side installation mode. Developers are strongly
encouraged to use these version-dependent ProgIds in MSXML object
creation.
- If you reregister the former Msxml.dll or apply a Microsoft
Windows 2000 service pack or an Internet Explorer 5.0 and later service pack,
the Msxml.dll file may be registered and the installation may revert to
side-by-side mode.
- To get updated information after you change any XML
configurations, you must either close the browser and reopen the HTML page, or
click Refresh in the browser. This applies to both versions of the
tool.
- Although Microsoft has made an effort to make this tool
work on all versions of Windows, both .ocx versions will not run on all
computers. For example, the tool will not run on computers that do not have XML
installed or on computers that are using a version of Internet Explorer that is
earlier than version 4.01. The HTML file also includes a list of DLLs that the
.ocx file is dependent on.
