MSXML 6

Post by gorg »

Now that MSXML 6 is included in all versions of Windows (from Win XP SP3 forward, I believe), I don't understand why your support for MSXML stops at 4.0. :?: Please at least provide a way that I can manually configure additional XSLT engines into the product so that I can easily run documents through XSLT 6.0 if nothing else. Doing it through the "External Tools" is rather awkward and limited.

Hello,

Note that it is already possible(for quite some time) to configure and use additional XSLT engines for transformations in Oxygen. Details on how to do this can be found in the user manual:
Configuring Custom XSLT Processors

Yes, but that requires writing a command-line launcher (say, like this or this) since MSXML6 doesn't come with one, and the one you can download from MS only supports up to MSXML4.

Not a big deal, but it seems like the developers of a comprehensive XML development tool that runs on the Microsoft platform would have done at least that much integration for me.

I've logged your feature request to our issue tracking tool.
This will be implemented in a future version of Oxygen.
