Xmlinst.exe Replace Mode Tool
|
You can use xmlinst.exe to run MSXML 3.0 in Replace mode, which means that application references to previous versions of MSXML are remapped to point to MSXML 3.0. Xmlinst.exe is designed to be a convenient way for you to run the latest version of the MSXML Parser in all of your programs. Thus, you can avoid the need to recompile and update all of your existing programs to use and test the latest version of the MSXML Parser, regardless of the version the program was originally specified to use. However, running xmlinst.exe in Replace mode can leave your computer in an unstable state. |
XML Diff and Patch 1.0
|
Microsoft XML Diff and Patch is a set of tools for comparison of two XML documents and application of the changes (patching). XML Diff detect addition, deletion and other changes between two XML documents. It also detects structural changes like a move of a XML subtree. It produces Xml Diff Language Diffgram (XDL diffgram or just diffgram) that describes the differences between the two XML documents. The diffgram can be then used to display these differences or to perform a patch operation using the XML Patch tool. |

|
The xdr-schema style sheet generates documentation for Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5 compatible XML schemas. |
XSD Schema Validator
|
This page allows you to validate an XML documents against an W3C XML Schema (XSD) or an XML Data-Reduced (XDR) schema, verify the schemas are valid, or simply check the well-formedness of XML documents. Different actions are taken depends on the submitted information.
- Check well-formedness of an XML document if it is submitted.
- Check validity of a schema if it is submitted.
- Validate the XML document against a schema, if both a schema and an XML document are submitted and the XML document has a namespace declaration that matches the namespaceURI (and the targetNamespace in the XSD schema).
