Opening xml in IE6

[stinkybee]

Whenever I try and open an XML file in IE6 it displays a file download box with open and save options. When I click on open it justs re-opens this box. Anyone know what the problem could be? I have XML files linked to open with IE.

I face a similar problem, the only difference is that it opens the file in a dreamweaver application. Can anyone please help, whats wrong?

Thanx..

Have you also found that XMLDOM and XMLHTTP connection do not work?

open up windows explorer. Press SHIFT key and right cilck on the XML file. Click OPEN WITH... then choose Internet Explorer. BE SURE TO CHECK "ALWAYS OPEN WITH" checkbox. Next time the file will open up in IE. Same with Dreamweaver.

Still doesn't work. All I get now is the download box flashing up on the screen and then nothing.

Anybody got any other ideas?

hi, in

http://groups.google.com/groups?q=o...59-1&selm=98nel4$or6$1@rex.ip-plus.net&rnum=2

i find it.. i don't try it yet:

Now I could solve the problem by:
- downloading and installing msxml (i.e. msxml3.exe)
- downloading xmlinst.exe
- running "xmlinst -u" (Delete all registry entries that were created by any
version of msxml.dll.)
(now IE could already open xml-files as text!)
- running "regsvr32 msxml3.dll"
(now IE could already open/parse xml-files as xml!)
