When you try to install Microsoft Office 2010 in Windows XP, you might get following error message:
Setup is unable to proceed due to the following error(s):
The installation of Microsoft Office 2010 requires that MSXML version 6.10.1129.0 should be installed on your computer. Install the component and re-run the setup. Correct the issue(s) and re-run the setup.
To fix the issue, you can follow any of following solutions:
Solution 1:
Download and install Windows XP SP3 from here. SP3 contains MSXML, so it'll fix your problem.
Solution 2:
If you can't download and install SP3, you can manually download and install MSXML using this link.
Solution 3:
If the above solutions don't work for you, do as following:
1. Type regedit in RUN or start menu search box and press Enter. It'll open Registry Editor.
2. Now go to following key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{F5078F18-C551-11D3-89B9-0000F81FE221}\6.0\0\win32
3. Right-click on win32 key and select Permissions.
4. Now select your username and provide Full Control to it.
5. After that in right-side pane, change value of (Default) to following:
C:\Windows\System32\msxml6.dll
NOTE: Here C: is system drive where Windows is installed in your system. If you have installed Windows in any other drive, change C: to that drive letter.
After following any of above mentioned solutions, re-run Office 2010 setup and now it should work without any problem.

Hi! i have tried all your steps but to no avail! As somebody mentioned on page 1 there is no 6.0 in the reg key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{F5078F18-C551-11D3-89B9-0000F81FE221} only 2.6; 3.0; 4.0; & 5.0! Can anyone help? How on earth can we edit something that is not there! Flip windows is such bull!
