BizTalk 2016 and MSXML dependency

Rick Pal 1

Hi,

Is there a dependency between BizTalk 2016 and MSXML?

Noticed that BizTalk Rosettanet installer installs MSXML4 SP2. But Windows 2016 comes with MSXML6 so can we remove MSXML4 coz of security vulnerability identified by MSFT? What do we need to verify before we remove MSXML4

Thanks.

Hi There,

Thank you for asking this question on the Microsoft Q&A Platform.

MSXML is a set of objects that allow developers to process XML documents programmatically. And, Microsoft SQL Server Management Objects Collection requires MSXML 6.0.

I would suggest removing it first from the lower environment and do the proper assessment on this then the only cleanup from the production environment.
