The Msxml2.dll file is missing from the computer where SQL Server is installed, or it could not be loaded from the system directory while processing an XML feature such as sp_xml_preparedocument. If the file exists, it may not be registered properly, or one of its dependencies may not exist.
If you installed MSDE SP3a on a computer that does not have an earlier version of MSDE installed, the Msxml2.dll file may not have been installed. For more information, see Microsoft Knowledge Base article 823490. If you have another edition of SQL Server, the file may have been removed by a program uninstall, or it may have been manually deleted or unregistered.
Search the SQL Server machine for Msxml2.dll. If you do not find the file, download and install Msxml2.msi from Microsoft Knowledge Base article 823490. If the file exists, verify that it is registered properly.
