The installation of Microsoft Office 2010 requires that MSXML version 6.10.1129.0 be installed on your computer. Install this component and re-run setup. Correct the issue[s] listed above and re-run setup.
You will usually encounter this error on older Wind0ws operating systems, such as Windows Server 2000, Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP.
Solution
Download MSXML from Microsoft’s Web site here and then re-run the Microsoft Office 2010 setup.
More Information on MSXML
The Microsoft Core XML Services [MSXML] 6.0 release provides standards-conformant implementations of:
- XML 1.0 [DOM & SAX2 APIs]
- XML Schema [XSD] 1.0
- XPath 1.0
- XSLT 1.0
In addition, it offers client and server-safe components for XML over HTTP. MSXML6 is also the first version of MSXML to provide a 64-bit redistributable package.
MSXML6 is intended as an upgrade path for existing MSXML3 and MSXML4 users except for users that leverage some of the older ProgIDs and technologies in MSXML3 and MSXML4. The following are not supported in MSXML6:
- DSOControl
- XML Data Islands
- XMLHTTP10, DOMDocument10, FreeThreadedDOMDocument10
- XDR Schemas
These technologies are currently in maintenance mode in MSXML3 and MSXML4 but will be phased out according to the life-cycle for those components.
MSXML6 will install side by side with MSXML 3 and MSXML4 and will not impact existing applications that use MSXML3 and MSXML4 [version independent ProgIDs will not point to MSXML6]. Developers must move to the new “60” ProgIDS to use MSXML6 in their applications.

Yes, we do only support XP SP3 and beyond, and furthermore, we require .NET 3.5 SP1, so I'm confident that MSXML 6.0 will be there. My only worry is that according to the wikipedia article, there are some depreciated features from MSXML 4.0 that are not in 6.0, so I'm slightly worried that the InstallShield XML File Changes could depend on these depreciated features. [Although the help says '[MSXML] 3.0 or later' so I should be okay].
But you are right, a vanilla XP SP3 installation should prove whether or not this is true.
Thanks again, Paul
I have re-installed Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007 on Server 2008 Standard 64 bit.
Now when i close ms word I get error as below : Error : "This feature requires MSXML 5.0 to be properly installed. Run setup and click repair to restore this component."
I have attached attached screen shot of errors. I have tried re-installing office few times which didn't fix issue.
