Hi all, Ive been tasked with restoring an old application chock full of types like:
MSXML2::IXMLDOMElementPtr
I know nothing about MSXML2 except that it is no longer supported and will not link with the project. I have the old msxml2.tlb and it is in the link path (along with msxml2.lib), but I get a build error:
Cannot open type library file: msxml2.tlb: No such file or directory
I would like to be able to restore this project on XP (VC6) and/or Windows 7 (VC 9 or 10) ... should I try installing msxml6 (seems to be current?) and changing all the refs to msxml2 to msxml6? Im really clueless about msxml and xml in general and
would appreciate any tips or suggestions on how to proceed...
Thanks!!! Carolyn
