PRB: Unregistering MSXML 3.0 DLL Removes Registry Entries When Installed in Replace Mode
This article was previously published under Q300188
If MSXML 3.0 is installed in replace mode and the dynamic-link library (DLL) is unregistered, all registry entries for previous versions are removed, and Web applications that were using MSXML no longer work correctly.
Reinstall the previous version of MSXML to restore the component.
This behavior is by design.
Use the steps to reproduce behavior only on test computers. Following these steps breaks MSXML on that computer, so that you must reinstall MSXML.
Steps to Reproduce Behavior
- Install MSXML 3.0. During setup, select Replace Mode.
- Unregister Msxml3.dll.
Applications that use MSXML no longer work correctly.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft XML Parser 2.0
- Microsoft XML Parser 2.5
- Microsoft XML Parser 2.6
- Microsoft XML Parser 3.0
- Microsoft XML Parser 3.0 Service Pack 1

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
