Chris,

Thanks for the suggestion, but MSXML has been in every version of Windows since 
2003, so I'm not sure why this would have been an issue for you, or how you 
could have gotten it to install on 2012 given compatibility of the 12 year old 
download for version 6.  This wasn't a concern in 2008 for exactly the reason 
that it's in the OS already, and I find nothing about it being removed from 
2012.  Do you have any further info on that?

Thanks,
Yadin
