If you embed your XSLT style sheet in your source XML document, later versions of MSXML will not be used without additional programming being used to access them by version-specific ProgIDs. For more information, see the FAQ question “Why do my transformations fail in Internet Explorer?” and its answer as discussed above. If you call your transformation from a programming language, it is likely that you are not using the correct version-specific ProgID. You must use the version-dependent ProgID. The following Visual Basic code shows the correct syntax to create a DOMDocument object into which you load an XSLT file. The code uses the version-dependent ProgID.
