Re: docgen / XP / scripting v5.6

I'm late to this particular party but Everett should not have changes in

it down, I can check....

Subject: Re: [GENX] docgen / XP / scripting v5.6

I tried it on another XP box that has MSXML 4.0 SP1, VS.NET [but not
everett] and it was ok. Urrrggghhh, I don't really want to repave my
box [again!]. I'd be interested to know what everett's changed that's
tripping it up.

Cheers
Simon
