    Microsoft XML Core Services 6.0


    Microsoft XML Core Services 4.x has been superceded by Microsoft XML Core Services 6.x

    Re Secunia: Can't comment on the download link they offer. All I can say is that Microsoft XML Core Services 6 is installed and working on my 64 bit Windows 7 machine. I've left Microsoft XML Core Services 4.x installed but if anyone wants me to remove it for test purposes I'm willing to try.

    See security bulletin here:

    May I safely uninstall MSXML 4.x?


    As with everyone else, Secunia PSI flags MSXML 4.x as EOL.

    I updated to MSXML6.x, may I now safely uninstall MSXML 4.x?

    If flagged it up for me too. See earlier post. I have actually removed it with no issues. End of life just means that it will not get any more patches or security updates. Here's what I have currently:

    I'd say install MSXML 6 and remove MSXML 4. You can always reinstall MSXML 4 if you experience any issues with any program that installed MSXML 6.
