SYMPTOMS
When you try to package or deploy an application by using the Microsoft Exchange SDK Application Deployment Wizard, you may receive one of the following error messages:

Msxml3.dll has been installed on your machine to replace msxml.dll rather than to run side-by-side with it. This may cause the Application Wizard to fail. Would you like to continue anyway?

-or-

Msxml4.dll has been installed on your machine to replace msxml.dll rather than to run side-by-side with it. This may cause the Application Wizard to fail. Would you like to continue anyway?



CAUSE
This behavior may occur if either of the following conditions is true:
 * A computer on which Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 is installed is used to package an application for deployment.

-or-
 * The Application Deployment Wizard is used to deploy an application on a computer on which Internet Explorer 6.0 is installed.



RESOLUTION
To work around this issue, use either of the following methods, as appropriate to your circumstances:
 * If you created the installation package on a computer on which Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 is installed, click OK in response to the error message.

The application is then deployed normally. -or-


 * If you created the installation package on a computer on which Internet Explorer 6.0 is installed, cancel the installation process, and then repackage the application by using a computer on which Internet Explorer 5.0 is installed.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
In either of the situations described in the &quot;Resolution&quot; section of this article, you receive one of the error messages. If you packaged the application on a computer on which Internet Explorer 5.0 is installed, you can safely instruct the computer to continue with the installation.

However, if you used a computer on which Internet Explorer 6.0 is installed, and you instruct the computer to continue with the installation, the application is not deployed properly.
