Resolution
The Windows XP SP3 installation also installs MSXML6 SP2, whether or not MSXML6 is already installed. Thus, it is not possible to install MSXML6 (since the system indicates a newer version is already installed). It is also not possible to uninstall MSXML6 SP2, as Windows indicates the installation is corrupt.To resolve the issue, follow the steps below.
