SYMPTOMS
When you compile a managed Microsoft Windows Media Services SDK project that uses the Microsoft.WindowsMediaServices.dll interop assembly, you may receive the following error message from the compiler:

The type 'interop_msxml.IXMLDOMDocument' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'interop_msxml, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35'.



CAUSE
The Interop_msxml.dll interop assembly that is included with Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1) and with Microsoft Platform SDK SP1 is not correctly strong named.
