I need to find out if a piece of Microsoft Software (e.g. Microsoft XML Core Services) is installed on my W2K8 and W2K3 machines. I also want to know what version of that piece of software.
I googled it first. One answer is this:
go to start> run> type in appwiz.cpl> in the window that comes up fin msxml and click on the "click here for support information" link. it will give you the version number on the 4th line.
So I tried the cmd but it does not show 'Microsoft XML Core Services' (it did show some other pieces of software, though, such as Visual C++, etc).
However, when I tried to install a Microsoft patch for 'Microsoft XML Core Services', it succeeded. I can see the patch ID KB2757638 (which is for Microsoft XML Core Services 3.0 or 6.0. Refer to MS13-002) under installed updates.
I further ran cmd 'regedit' to do more search. Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->Software, there is no any msxml or xml listed.
Please someone help me - point me a direction or show me the exact commands (cmds at cmdline prompt would be even better). I am new to MS Windows system.
Many thanks!!
