The above problem is well known:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968749/en-us

However the workaround http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301 no longer
applies.

Any idea how to solve this? Is it possible (and recommended) to uninstall
MSXML6 via control panel?

As I recall it is uninstallable.

But it sounds a serious issue to me if the workaround no longer works.
In which way is it no longer applicable?

This article previously contained a link to the Windows Installer Cleanup
utility (MSICUU2.exe). If you were directed to this article to solve a
problem installing a product other than Microsoft Office, please contact
your software manufacturer for installation support on the product.

While the Windows Installer Cleanup utility resolved some installation
problems, it sometimes damaged other components installed on the computer.
Because of this, the tool has been removed from the Microsoft Download
Center. The Fix it Solutions in this article provide the ability to fully
remove Office 2003, 2007 and 2010 suites without damaging other Windows
components.

Maybe MSICUU2 still helps with MSXML - but I can find no proof.

posted a message to our internal MVP forum.

I can't say how long it will take before I get a response or how
long it takes before something happens. You could open a case with
Microsoft and ask. I think they would have to be really mean to charge
you...

No response from Microsoft yet, but a fellow MVP pointed me to
http://forums.techguy.org/attachment...97/msicuu2.zip
which is said to include the missing utility.

Please observe that I can in no way vouch for that the link includes
exactly the software that you are looking for, and least of all that it
is not infected with something harmful. (And beware that viruses these
days rarely flatten your hard disk. They just wait for instructions,
and then one day they are sent into action to send spam or conduct a
DDOS attack against someone.)
