    MSXML 6.0 installation

    I am running WinXP pro on a AMD dual core Opteron processor 1212. I need to install MSXML 6.0 and there are four potential files options.

    msxml6.msi
    msxml6_ia64.msi
    msxml6_SDK.msi
    msxml6_x64.msi

    I assume the 2 that have 64 in them are for 64 bit Windows and I have 32 bit. I don't know which of the other 2 is the right one?

    Also there is a security update that has three potential files. Again, one looks like it is for 64 bit, but not sure about the other two:
    msxml6-KB954459-enu-amd64.exe
    msxml6-KB954459-enu-ia64.exe
    msxml6-KB954459-enu-x86.exe. Can anyone help?

    The files with ia64 in them are for a CPU type that you almost certainly don't have. The file with the SDK in it is the Software Development Kit for MSXML. You might want that, but it is probably not needed for what you are wanting to do. The x86 update is the one you want.

    Files to use:
    msxml6.msi
    msxml6_SDK.msi (If you want the Software Development Kit)
    msxml6-KB954459-enu-x86.exe. (Unless you are running the 64 bit version of Windows XP on an AMD CPU)

    For edification, ia64 is for Intel Itanium cpus.

    Go with jdc2000's list.

    what about the initial MSXML 6.0 download? Does that mean I go with the that msxml6.msi. The x86 was only a choice for the security update. Thanks.

    Correct. My first post lists the files you should use.

    Thanks again for your help. I misread your first post.
