ASP TransformNode not working with new XLS namespace !

[colly9]

Since upgrading from NT4 to Windows 2000 my ASP code to generate HTML from XML files has stopped working.


My XSL starts with:
<xsl:stylesheet version=&quot;1.0&quot; xmlns:xsl=&quot;

http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform&quot;>

When calling transformNode, rather than applying the XSL file to an XML file and generating HTML, the actual contents of the XSL file are being returned.


If I change the XSL files namespace to:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl=&quot;

http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl&quot;>

then the transformation works (provided that it is simple XSL)

What is happening ? I have MSXML3 & 4 installed (and everthing else for that matter). I am at my wits end. Bloody Microsoft, a simple upgrade, grumble grumble.....

I fixed this. It was the server running the wrong version of msxml.

Changing from:
set objXML = Server.CreateObject(&quot;Microsoft.XMLDOM&quot

to:
Set objXML = Server.CreateObject(&quot;MSXML2.DOMDocument&quot

gave a &quot;msxml2.dll: Invalid Parameter&quot; error, so I was quite confident that I needed to alter the setup of the msxml.


I used instxml.exe to remove all my current msxml's, then reinstalled msxml3 - however, the problem persisted. I used regsvr32 etc etc, and nothing worked.

so, remembering what I did with the old NT box, I Installed IE6 on the server.

After reboot, MSXMLSniffer tells me that I am running msxml3 in replace mode, and hey presto, it works !
