MSXML 4.0: msxsl is not a command in Windows XP Pro?

[SHC]

Hi all,
I have Windows XP Pro and CompanyA.xml and order.xsl of Chapter 4 of
Beginning XML (2nd Edition) by D. Hunter, et. al . in my C: drive. I got "
'maxsl' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable
program or batch file" error, when I executed the following command:

C:\BeginningXML\3412\chapter4>msxsl CampanyA.xml order.xsl -o output.html

I thought that MSXML 4.0 was installed in my Windows XP Pro and msxsl was a
command. Please help and tell me what was wrong in my execution of msxsl or
what I should do to get MSXML 4.0 working for me.

Thanks in advance,
SHC

The command-line utility msxsl.exe is not part of the msxml distribution --
it must be downloaded and installed separately.

The download is available at:

An enhanced version of msxsl.exe that comes with some EXSLT support (the
common:node-set() and all functions from the "sets" module) is available at:

http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/fxsl

MSXML is a library, not a command-line utility. A quick search for
"MSXML command line" brought up the following link:

so you could try something like that if you want to run it from the
command line.
