MSXML does not recognize status.xml as valid XML. I solved this by
opening ..\SlimServer\server\HTML\xml\status_header.html and changed
this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="[% LOCALE %]" standalone="no"?>

<!DOCTYPE status SYSTEM "html/slimserver_xml.dtd">

<status xmlns="http://www.slimdevices.com/slimserver/xml";>
        <players>
                <playercount>[% playercount | html %]</playercount>
                <player>

...

To this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="[% LOCALE %]" standalone="no"?>

<status>
        <players>
                <playercount>[% playercount | html %]</playercount>
                <player>

...

In other words, I removed the DOCTYPE and namespace declarations. They
don't seem to be necessary for Slimserver to operate properly, and
after the change, the XML can be parsed.
