RE: [xml-dev] Determining version of MSXML in use

Yep. How about service packs? Is there any way to tell, for instance,
between 4.0 SP1 and 4.0 SP2?

Hi,

We test to see if a feature is present. For example:

try {
  var testDom = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0");
} catch(e) {
  if (!testDom) alert("Get latest...");
}

MSXML2 varies a great deal between its updates so you might want to test for
specific needs of your app.

Best,
-Rob
