Solution 1

Normally I'd say search your root directory for MSXML4.DLL and if it's not there, go here:

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=19662[^]

And download the SDK.

MSXML.DLL doesn't ship with Windows and isn't included in any update.

Bottoms up!

Solution 2

Depends if you NEED the v4 type lib

if you do, you'll have to find it from somewhere - run a search over your %system32% dir, run oleview on it and extract the tlb out and use that

if you don't just import msxml6.dll
