If you construct a TXMLDocument with a nil Owner, the new instance uses reference counting to maintain its lifetime, so you MUST assign it to an IXMLDocument variable to maintain the reference count correctly or else the instance will be freed prematurely. Do not use a TXMLDocument variable in that situation. This is documented behavior, and would account for your AV. When working with dynamic instances of TXMLDocument, it is better to use the NewXMLDocument() and LoadXML...() functions instead.

you must set the Active property to True before to modify the XML document properties.

XmlDoc   :=TXMLDocument.Create(nil);
XmlDoc.Active:=True;
XmlDoc.Version:='1.0';
XMLDoc.Encoding:='utf-8';
