ActiveX component can't create object: 'MSXML2.DOMDocument'

I am trying to create an instance of the object Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0, but I am getting the following error: ActiveX component can't create object: 'MSXML2.DOMDocument'

The error occures in this line: Set xmlDoc = CreateObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0")

How can I solve this problem?

Thank you for your helps

Three things you need to check:

  1. While registering MSXML4 make sure the MSXML4r.dll is at the same path as MSXML4.dll
  2. Register using proper syntax Regsvr32 msxml4.dll
  3. Enable 32 bit in IIS app pool

Check if msxml4.dll exists on your system. and (re-)register the library if it does:

cd %SystemRoot%\system32
regsvr32 /u msxml4.dll
regsvr32 msxml4.dll

You need admin privileges to do this.

Probably the specific version 4.0 of Msxml2.DOMDocument is not (properly) installed on the computer your script runs on. Try to create the version-independent object:

Set xmlDoc = CreateObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument")

This should give you the version that 'works' on your machine. If this fails, try 

Set xmlDoc = CreateObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.6.0")

or experiment with the version number. Use TypeName(xmlDoc) to get a hint wrt the effective version.

P.S. If your problem is caused by 32 vs. 64 bit troubles, this may give you further hints for things to check.
